Boost asked what washers was in Eupho's tailgating thread. I posted a response (at the bottom) telling him about the game. It's a great game that I think others should know about, so I'll re-post my reply here.
Does anyone else here play it? Anyone play bag-o? Any other tailgating games out there that I should be aware of?
Here's the post:
Basically it's a game where you throw metal/copper washers from about 30 feet and you try to get it into a hole (usually made with PVC pipe). Everyone has their own system of scoring, but the way we play goes like this......if you get it into the PVC pipe you get three points. If you fail to get it into the PVC pipe (which is fucking hard to do), you still have a chance to score by getting it to land in the "box" that the PVC hole lays in. If you get it into the box you get one point, anything else is no points. Each person/team gets three washers to throw.
If two people get washers into the "box" the closest one to the hole gets the point(s). If I land all three washers in the box and you land one, and yours is closest to the hole, all three of my points are negated and you get the point (you'd get two points if you had two washers closer than my washers).
Our games usually go to 11, but I've played grudge matches to 50 and 100 before.
You can add drinking penalties that coincide with the scoring to make it more interesting. Example: you have to finish your beer in hand if the other person/team gets it into the PVC pipe, or a drink for every point the other team gets. I don't play with drinking rules, and my friends don't either, because we're pounding beers as we play anyway. We don't need a fucking game to tell us when to drink.
Here is a washers game that you can purchase.
Purchasing a pre-made washers game is considered semi-gay. It's okay if you do it this way but prepare to get ridiculed mercifully. It is definitely more manly to make your own washers game with your bare hands.
Also, notice the carpet. Almost everyone plays with carpet on the bottom of their washers game. You can use all different kinds that will lessen/increase the bounce of your washers which makes it harder/easier to score points. Some people use sand but who the fuck wants to carry around a bag of sand just to play this game.
Everyone has their own theory on how to throw the washer. Some do it over handed but the underhanded toss is used the most. Some do it side-ways too. You can flip your washer (like I do), or you can throw it with no flip, whatever you want.
Here's a picture of my buddy playing the game while we tailgated before a Royals game (that's Arrowhead Stadium in the background)...
Here's a picture of me playing the game...
There you go, any more questions? 
P.S. The dude in the picture with me is my best friend's brother-in-law.......yup, you guessed it, he's a little different, lol.

anyone heard of testical toss?
basically the rules are you stand about the same distance away for bag-o, and have one person from each team on each side like bag-o as well. You throw the balls and if it wraps around the top post, you get 3 points, middle is 2 points, and bottom is 1. Points cancel out like bag-o too. It's fun. Game played to 21.

I have played testicle toss but find the game to suck even more than bag-o. In washers there is a lot of "chance" involved, whether or not your washer bounces out of the box....in bag-o and especially testicle toss there isn't much chance, you're either good or you're not. Makes for a less intersting game because good players will win just about every time, and bad players will suck.
I can play my wife in washers and kick her ass most of the time, because she sucks, but she's beaten me a few times when it's not bouncing my way (and it's bouncing hers)...That doesn't happen with the other two games as there's no real luck/chance involved.

To be honest, I shouldn't slam on bag-o so hard. It's a good game, same premise as washers, it's okay if that's all you got........but hopefully that's not all you've got.

Is bag-O cornhole?
It's ok. Not a fan of washers (for similar reasons).
My favorite:

Actually, wouldn't work that well for tailgaiting. you need grass.
4 posts, sticks, PVC, etc 3ft high. You set them up like goals, 1 disc (frisbee) + 1 fist wide. 30 feet apart. You place a cup on each post. You throw the disc. If you split the posts without touching anything it's 2 points. If you knock off a cup and it hits the ground it's 1 pt. The other team can catch the cup, but they can only use one hand and can't trap it against their body. So you get people running around hitting a cup in the air, for added comedy value.
maybe pics later

There are two threads, I think the one you posted was in Euphoricism's tailgating thread.
P.S. Boost it was only slightly funny, if that, so you're not missing much.

Not saying I didn't enjoy it too, big guy. Just saying it's not your best material ever by far.
