Cornhole voted best tailgate game

Last Updated on 07/22/2021 by Inside Tailgating

Our readers have spoken and it’s cornhole in a landslide! You voted the ol’ standby as the best tailgating game when presented with Inside Tailgating’s “Select 6” tailgate games as suggested by our own Social Media guru Danielle Maslany.

Let’s just say there’s a reason cornhole is a mainstay in the tailgating culture. It’s easy to play, addictive, rewards all skill levels and age ranges and is family-friendly. Unlike a lot of tailgate games, you don’t have to give yourself a hangover to enjoy it. Beer Pong and Flip Cup, which were tied for the runners-up in our Select 6 voting, are raucous and fun but pretty much guaranteed to land you a headache the next day.

So as NFL training camps heat up around the U.S. and we look forward to the opening of college football, dust off the cornhole boards and pack up the bags. We’re not going to argue with one of the great parking lot games ever invented. Check out which games cornhole beat out in July’s Select 6.
