Designed by Red, Wood & Blue who are currently funding the Modern Cornhole Boards on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/board-game-backpacks), the games take a [traditional pastime](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/king-swings) and give it a much needed overhaul. Aside from being made stateside, the Modern Cornhole Boards were designed in America as well and offer dynamic features like a [solid wood construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottega-veneta-jenga) and tough lacquered laminate to ensure that they'll be able to survive years of play from players of all ages. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Upgraded Game Equipment:** Modernizing traditional game equipment provides opportunities to improve user experience and increase market demand. - **Locally-made Products:** Producing game equipment locally can offer quality assurance and customer satisfaction while supporting local businesses. - **Dynamic Game Features:** Introducing new features and materials in classic games can enhance player experience and provide innovation opportunities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Recreation:** Innovative game equipment can attract new customers and improve profitability in the recreational industry. - **Manufacturing:** Designing and producing unique game equipment locally can present manufacturing opportunities and support small businesses. - **Retail:** Adding unique and innovative game equipment to product lines can drive sales and attract new customers in the retail industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Engaging 3D Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foros-game.md) - [Boozy Backyard Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-darts.md) - [Board Game Furniture Innovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bandpass-design.md) - [Hybrid Party Game Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiburon-tables.md) - [Luxury Game Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-board-game.md) - [Age-Inclusive Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hasbro-5.md) - [Updated Traditional Game Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/admiral-clash.md) - [Board Game-Inspired Pastimes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-and-table-game.md) - [Adult-Exclusive Reimagined Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/board-crawl.md)
