A corn toss game comprising, in combination:
- a game apparatus having an inner surface and an inclined outer surface, said game apparatus further comprising:
- a bottom portion hingedly affixed to a proximal end continuously along a horizontal axis and bending downwardly to form a shorter front leg;
- a top portion having a distal end, said proximal end opposite said distal end, a hole in the center adapted to receive a bag tossed therein, and an elongated rear leg pivotally affixed at a pivot point to said inner surface at the distal end of the top portion adapted to accommodate folding of rear leg in a position adjacent to said inner surface, wherein said top portion and bottom portion form said inclined outer surface when in extended position;
- a net continuously affixed to a bottom edge of a diameter of said hole, wherein said net is positioned underneath said hole to accommodate the reception of bags tossed at said game apparatus;
- and
- a fastening means adapted to lock said game apparatus into a folded, closed position;
