— You get 4 bean bag tosses each turn

— Object is to accumulate points by throwng your bag into the hole, or landing it on the board

— The strategy is to also keep your opponent from scoring points

• Back door or Dirty Rollup: A cornhole bag that rolls over the top of a blocker and into the hole.
• Backstop: A bag that lands past the hole but remains on the board creating a backboard for a slider to knock into without going off the board.
