This recreational activity involves players throwing fabric pouches filled with dried beans or synthetic materials at a raised platform featuring one or more holes. Success is achieved when a pouch lands on the platform or, ideally, passes through one of the designated holes, scoring points for the player or team. This pastime is frequently enjoyed in open-air environments such as backyards, parks, and tailgate gatherings.
Its popularity stems from its accessibility to a wide range of ages and skill levels, requiring minimal physical exertion. The game provides an opportunity for social interaction and friendly competition, fostering community and promoting outdoor activity. Historically, similar games have existed in various cultures, with the modern version evolving into a staple of casual outdoor entertainment.
