• a first playing board comprising a first non-metallic material, wherein the first playing board includes a circular hole and has a first set of playing characteristics that includes a first playing board weight, the first playing board having four corner regions;
• and
• a second playing board comprising a second non-metallic material, wherein the second playing board includes a circular hole and has a second set of playing characteristics that includes a second playing board weight that is different than the first playing board weight, the second playing board having four corner regions;
• and
• wherein either the first playing board or the second playing board is selectably mounted to the base such that when the first playing board is mounted to the base, the cornhole board assembly has the first set of playing characteristics, and when the second playing board is mounted to the base, the cornhole board assembly has the second set of playing characteristics;
• and
• wherein the first plurality of damping elements are positioned between the frame and the first playing board or the second playing board that is selectably mounted to the base;
• wherein a length of the front flange is less than the first length, a length of the rear flange is less than the first length, a length of the first side wall flange is less than the second length, and a length of the second side wall flange is less than the second length such that there is a gap between the frame and both of the first playing board and second playing board at each of the four corner regions of the first playing board and the second playing board.

A cornhole board assembly comprising:

• a base including:
• a plurality of legs that support the base, wherein the plurality of legs includes a pair of front legs and a pair of rear legs, wherein the pair of front legs are shorter than the pair of rear legs;
• a frame connected to the plurality of legs and having a generally rectangular shape surrounding an opening, wherein the frame comprises a front wall having a first length and a first side wall adjacent to the front wall having a second length, a rear wall opposite the front wall, and a second side wall opposite the first side wall, wherein the second length is longer than the first length,
• wherein the front wall includes a front flange that extends inward from the front wall toward the opening, wherein the rear wall includes a rear flange that extends inward from the rear wall toward the opening, wherein the first side wall includes a first side wall flange that extends inward from the first side wall toward the opening, wherein the second side wall includes a second side wall flange that extends inward from the second side wall toward the opening,
• a first support beam extending across the opening from the first side wall to the second side wall;
• a playing board that is releasably connected to the base, wherein the playing board includes a circular hole, the playing board having four corner regions;
• wherein the support beam includes a bend near a connection to the first side wall to space a central region of the support beam away from a bottom surface of the playing board;
• a first plurality of damping elements positioned between the frame and the playing board, wherein the first plurality of damping elements are inserted into a first plurality of receivers positioned along the frame, wherein the first plurality of receivers are openings that receive each damping element of the first plurality of damping elements such that each damping element is secured to a corresponding receiver of the first plurality of receivers with a friction fit, wherein each damping element of the first plurality of damping elements extends through its corresponding receiver of the first plurality of receivers, such that a first portion of each damping element is above its corresponding receiver and a second portion of each damping element is below its corresponding receiver;
• and
• a second plurality of damping elements positioned between the first support beam and the playing board, wherein the second plurality of damping elements are inserted into a second plurality of receivers positioned along the first support beam, wherein the second plurality of receivers are openings that receive each damping element of the second plurality of damping elements such that each damping element is secured to a corresponding receiver of the second plurality of receivers with a friction fit, wherein each damping element of the second plurality of damping elements extends through its corresponding receiver of the second plurality of receivers, such that a first portion of each damping element is above its corresponding receiver and a second portion of each damping element is below its corresponding receiver;
• wherein a length of the front flange is less than the first length, a length of the rear flange is less than the first length, a length of the first side wall flange is less than the second length, and a length of the second side wall flange is less than the second length such that there is a gap between the frame and the playing board at each of the four corner regions.
