Gameplay:

four players divided into two teams. Players or teams pick a
color of bean bag and use that color throughout the game. A
game consists of a series of rounds.

One round consists of all eight bean bags being tossed at the
opposite board. During each round, players may toss the bean
bag from either the left or right toss box, but all bags must be
tossed from the same box. A toss box is the area on either side
of the board opposite where the players are tossing at (see
diagram). A player can never cross the front line of the toss
box (the same line as the front of the board) or the bag is a
scratch.

Chuck-O may be played with either two

players or

scored points in the previous round tosses first in the next

round. If

the previous round tosses

nobody scores points, team who tossed second(last)

first in the next round (see Points

in

and Scoring).

Points and Scoring:

Chuck-O — 3 points — A Chuck-O is a bean bag that
through the hole in the board or is knocked

in by your own or

is tossed

another player’s bean bag. The entire bag must pass through
the hole. A Chuck-O earns a player or team three points.

On the Board — 1 point — A bean bag that is not
a Chuck-O but lands with the bag resting on the gameboard
earns one point. The bag cannot be touching the ground.

Scratch —

or in the hole is a scratch and scores no points. Any bean bag that
bounces up onto the board, touches the ground, or hits any object
in flight is a scratch. A scratch bean bag has no point value(no

matter where it lands) and it must be removed(if it is on the
gameboard) before the game can continue.

A bean bag which lands anywhere except on the board

Scoring — The game score is tallied at the end
of every round. A round consists of two players completing the
tossing of each of their four bean bags. Players or teams only

score the difference between the highest and lowest player’s

score.
For example, if Player A got one Chuck-O and two On the Board
for five points and Player B got only two On the Board for two
points, then Player A would score three points (5 - 2 = 3). The
first player or team to have 21 points at the end of a round
wins. In the event of a tie, additional rounds are played until
one player or team has a higher score than the other at the end
of a round.

Safety Precautions:

Chuck-O gameboards are very heavy. Please make sure not to drop them
while setting them up as it may cause injury and damage the boards. Make
sure the board, if stood up vertically, will not tip and fall. Never sit, stand or
put any heavy object on the gameboards as it may damage the support leg.

Gameboard Setup

Two Players: Players compete against each other. Both

players toss from the toss box towards the same board. For
the next round, both players walk to the opposite board and
toss back at the previous board. A round is not finished until
all eight bean bags have been tossed. The player who scored
points in the previous round, tosses first in the next round. If
neither player scores points, the player who tossed second in
the previous round tosses first in the next round (see Points
and Scoring).

Four Players: One member of each team tosses from the toss

box at the opposite board. The other

the other toss box back

at the first board. The team, who

members then toss from

Lay the gameboard on its side and open
the leg. Gently tip the gameboard up and
double check that the leg is firmly in place.
See the diagram for how far apart to set
them. You’re now ready for some serious
Chuck-O action!
