HOW TO PLAY CORKHOLE

GAME SETUP: Divide into 2 teams (1-2 players per team) and choose a cork color for your team. Each team will get 5 corks. Next, place the cups on the board according to the pattern shown above. Teams will stand approximately 5 steps back (one person measures using the heel-to-toe technique) from the Corkaine gameboard on the same side as the silver cup and place down their spot markers to mark their shooting distance. Gameplay begins after one quick round of paper-rock-scissors to determine which team goes first.

GAMEPLAY: Both teams line up on the same side of the board as the SILVER cup. Teams then take turns shooting their 5 corks, one at a time, at the cups on the gameboard. Once all of the corks have been shot by both teams, the round ends and both teams approach the gameboard and calculate their points. For each cork that makes it inside of a cup or makes it onto the gameboard, it scores points (see the cup rules above for points). Since points are scored using the cancellation scoring method, only the awarded points (4 ORANGE POINTS – 3 YELLOW POINTS = 1 AWARDED ORANGE POINT) count and are scored for that round. Once these awarded points have been established, all of the corks are gathered up by both teams and a new round begins. Rounds of gameplay continue until one team scores at least 21 awarded points to win the game of Corkhole.
