A fun 4 player game played by normal people, especially in Illinois. Two opposing players on each side proceed to throw bean bags at an elevated board on the other side, where their partners are standing. One point is awarded for a bag tossed onto the board: three points are awarded if the bag goes into the hole at the top of the board. You play until one side reaches 21 points, or 11 if the opposing team has not scored a single point. Points are calculated at the end of each round, but the amount of points scored by your opponent also comes into affect with how many points you scored. If both opposing players have the same amount of points, no one gets any and the round is called a "wash". If one person gets four bags on the board and his opponent has two bags on and two bags in the hole, the opponent would have won that round 4-0, since his 8-4 score is subtracted down to 4-0. Bags is the proper name for this game, not "bean bags" or the random name that my college friends in Michigan call it, which doesn't make sense.
