I’m psyched to report that the fine folks at Tailgating Challenge have just named Tic Bag Toe the #1 yard game as part of 2021 National Yard Games Day!
Their team has reviewed thousands of games and gear over the years, and founded National Yard Games Day to help bring their passion for playing outdoor games to everyone. National Yard Games Day is celebrated the first day of summer each year, and as part of it they issue a list of the 10 games they found the most fun and have staying power to keep their friends asking they could play again and again.
Here’s this year’s list, and here’s what they had to say about Tic Bag Toe: “If you love cornhole and Tic Tac Toe then you’ll love that these two games have merged into one family fun game that will keep kids and adults entertained for hours.”
We’re literally just getting off the ground, in fact due to a little shipping delay we almost missed the deadline for reviews, so I hopped on a plane with the prototype as luggage and flew to visit them in Colorado so they could check it out.
Here’s some of the highlights, and you can read their full expert review of Tic Bag Toe here.
We started playing and everyone was having fun, as there were 9 holes to make bags into. Games are always more fun when there is more ways to score! As the game went on you have to start using more strategy and skill to make your bag, so you can connect three in a row, or block your opponent from making theirs. This is the fun part as when you’re playing a normal game of tic tac toe you know where you want to place your X or O and you put it there. In this game you may know where you want to place that X or O, but you still have to have the skill to make it the cornhole bag into the hole.
This game is fun for both adults and kids as it’s easy to play and understand who wins. We played on single board and then played as teams with the double boards. When playing with double boards each side is playing their own game and the first team to win 3 games wins it all.
