Systems and methods of converting a cornhole game to a horseshoe game
Systems and methods of converting a cornhole game to a horseshoe game are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a horseshoe apparatus that is operable to be disposed in a bag receiving hole in an inclined platform of a cornhole apparatus comprises inner and outer bases with each base having upper and lower surfaces. The apparatus further includes a coupling mechanism having first and second ends, wherein the coupling mechanism is coupled to the lower surface of the inner base such that the first end is positioned to extend outside a perimeter of the inner base and the second end is positioned within the perimeter of the inner base. The apparatus also includes a stem disposed through and at a center of the outer base. The stem is operable to deflect or catch an object tossed towards the stem.
