Each board, depending on the game type, has 1 or 3 holes in which players can throw washers. The player or team who first reaches 21 points wins the game. Washers can be played anywhere as long as washer boards can be placed on a flat surface 10 feet apart from each other. Distance between pits is usually determined by a string attached to the front of each box.
Just like in cornhole, each player has its own pitching box on the left and right side of a washer board. The size of a pitching box is the same as the size of the board. The foul line is in the same line as the front of the board, in other words on the front edge of a pitching box.
Each team gets 3 washers, so in total 6 washers are tossed in each round 2 players and 3 washers. There are several versions of washer boards available. Depending on your personal preference you can choose plain wooden board, carpeted board or rubber covered board if you want to add bounce effect. Since this is a 3-hole type of game, logically, each board needs to have 3 separate holes with inch space between each hole.
If you are into DIY projects then take a look at this short video on how to create your own washer toss boards:.
Players alternately throw washers at a washers box. But in the first round tossing honour is determined either by flipping a coin or scoring a washer in the hole. Since this is a cancellation time of game each team has an opportunity to cancel opponents result on the round level. So for example, if Team A scores 3 points in a round then if Team B also scores 3 points those two scores cancel each one out. Which means in that round the result is a tie and no one adds points to the overall game score.
The second example is when Team A has reached 21 points in overall game score and now Team B has an opportunity to cover their winning result and avoid losing the match. Off course, this is only in a situation when there are some leftover washers available. So if Team B manages to score 21 points and cover the winning results, any leftover washers are returned to team players respectively.
Then the standard game is continued. Washers can be thrown using ONLY underhand toss. Any overhead or two hand throw is forbidden and considered to the foul point. The washer that was inadequately thrown must be removed from the playing field immediately. The carpet does make it quieter I bet. Just sand it and oil finish the top.
You can spray undercoating to the inside if you want to deaden the sound. We call this game "Arizona Horseshoes" our family gets together everysummer for a weekend of tournaments. Reply 9 years ago on Introduction. Thats Pretty neat! I have heard this game been called many things from washers to red neck horse shoes. By desertsniper Follow.

They are not really necessary but they help with the scoring. Connect the timbers and fill the pit with earth to the top of the frame. The distance between the two pits is completely up to you. Of course, the greater the distance, the more difficult the game.
However, you need to be careful not to put the pits too far apart as it may be overwhelming for the youngest players. Washer board game is yet another interesting version you may come across. The game is usually played with pitching bags filled with sand instead of metal washers.
That way, the board will be more or less protected. That way you can get a sense of how you could play with different equipment. The game consists of two pitchers playing against each other. Both players should stand in their designated lane during the game. Players then need to start the game at the headboard and alternate throwing bags until each player has tossed all of them.
And, they get four bags each. Then, they should walk to the other side, take the score and start throwing again. This variant is played by two teams of two players on each side.
Each player should stand in their designated pitcher box. The same rules apply as for the singles play and each player has 4 bags to pitch. Official rules for playing washers state that the player must pitch with the underhand throw.
Players must not cross the foul line with their feet before the bag has landed. The player or team who scored in the last round has the right to play first in the next one. If nobody scores, the player who tossed first in the last inning will play first in the next round. If you have a set of two one-hole washer boards to play with, then this game is usually played by two or four people.
A player gets one point if the washer lands on the board. If a washer is leaning over the edge of the cup, this is worth three points. Obviously, a player gets a maximum of five points if they manage to get the washer inside the cup. Playing a one-hole washer board requires a rule of placement.
You should place your boards on a distance of 21 feet. In addition, you will need to stand at the back of the board while pitching. This is important because you should measure the distance between the boards from the back of each board to the center of the opposite cup.
Once measured, the distance can be secured by adding eye hooks and a rope to your boards. A player from each team should toss and the washer closest to the hole determines the first pitcher.
The player or team who scored last throws first once the game starts. Remember that only one player or team per round may score.
A round is over when each player has tossed all four washers. The winner is the first player or team to reach a total of exactly 21 points. The scoring system for this game is quite simple.
Be sure to face the washer boards horizontally and not sideways. Here are some basic rules for playing three-hole washer board game:. The middle hole is worth three points and the hole farthest from you is five points.
We find that using diddle is the most entertaining way to determine who plays first. The rules are pretty much the same as for every washers game. Just follow the basic ones like alternating players, only one player scores per round and end the round when each of the players has pitched all four washers.
It seems like the game is most fun when you include point cancelation. For instance, if player 1 gets three points and player 2 gets five, then player 2 earns two points for that round. So you should certainly consider keeping this rule. Again, the winner is the first player or team to reach These bags catch the washers when they fall in.
Having five holes on the board really take this game to a whole different level. Whoever gets the highest points, or gets closest to a hole, chooses if they want go first or second. Players may either stand on, or next to the board. The foul line is at the front of each board. For a Two Player Game 1-on-1 : Each player will throw their washers from the same side, to the opposite board. The first player will throw their 3 washers; the second player will then throw their 3 washers to complete one round.
After all washers have been tossed, and scores are noted, players will move to the opposite board to continue play. For Team Play 2-on-2 : Team members will throw from opposite boards. The first player from Team One will toss three washers; the first player from Team Two will toss their 3 washer to the same board.
Note scores. Opposing players pick up washers, and proceed to throw from their side. Team One, player two, throws their 3 washers, then Team Two player two. This completes a round.
