CORNHOLE IN ONE LINE
Cornhole is a North American target game where players toss fabric bags at an inclined board with a hole at its end. Players earn points by landing bags on the board or passing them through the hole using cancellation scoring.
PÉTANQUE IN ONE LINE
Pétanque is a French target sport where players throw hollow steel boules close to a wooden target ball called a cochonnet. Unlike related boules games, players must throw while standing with feet planted together inside a small circle.
