Cornhole airmail box game board

Abstract

A lightweight stackable cornhole airmail box is disclosed. In certain versions, the airmail box includes a playing surface having a periphery and a central hole; a base configured to support the airmail box on a ground surface; and a front, rear, and opposing sidewalls extending from the base and terminating at the periphery of the playing surface. The sidewalls are configured to support the playing surface at an angle relative to the ground surface and at least the front and rear sidewalls are angled inward towards the central hole from the base.

         19 . The game board of  claim 18 , wherein the base comprises an outward extending flange aligned about a lower perimeter of the sidewalls forming a quadrilateral footprint. 
     
     
         20 . The game board of  claim 19 , wherein the quadrilateral footprint having a width and length and the playing surface having a width and length, wherein the quadrilateral footprint width and length is greater than the playing surface width and length for providing stability. 
     
     
         21 . The game board of  claim 20 , wherein the quadrilateral footprint is a rectangular shape measuring between 13-15 inches in width by 15.5-17.5 inches in length. 
     
     
         22 . The game board of  claim 19 , wherein the outward extending flange comprises a downward exposed surface, the downward exposed surface supporting at least one rubber strip, thereby providing traction and grip with a ground surface. 
     
     
         23 . The game board of  claim 22 , wherein the edge formed between the playing surface and the sidewalls has a continuous, integral curved surface. 
     
     
         24 . The game board of  claim 19 , wherein a portion of the base further comprises a high-density material for providing additional stability. 
     
     
         25 . The game board of  claim 19 , wherein the outward extending flange comprises a forward portion and a rear portion, wherein each of the forward portion and the rear portion embed a high-density material for providing additional stability. 
     
     
         26 . The game board of  claim 25 , further comprising at least one anchoring hole through the base. 
     
     
         27 . The game board of  claim 19 , wherein two or more game boards are operably configured to stack upon each other, wherein each game board further comprises a hollow interior formed between the sidewalls and the playing surface that is sized and dimensioned to receive the sidewalls and playing surface of a second game board, thereby allowing a plurality of game boards to be stacked one on top of another in a series. 
     
     
         28 . The game board of  claim 27 , further comprising one or more vertical spacer tabs positioned at where the sidewalls intersect with the base, thereby preventing two or more stacked airmail boxes from becoming either stuck and/or air-locked together while stacked. 
     
     
         29 . The game board of  claim 18 , wherein two or more game boards are operably configured to stack upon the other, wherein each game board further comprises a hollow interior formed between the sidewalls and the playing surface that is sized and dimensioned to receive the sidewalls and playing surface of a second game board, thereby allowing a plurality of game boards to be stacked one on top of another in a series. 
     
     
         30 . A game board for playing a game of cornhole on a ground surface having a horizontal axis, the game board comprising:
 a playing surface having a periphery and a central hole;   a base configured to support the game board on the ground surface, the base comprising an outward extending flange aligned about a lower perimeter forming a quadrilateral footprint; and   a front, rear, and opposing sidewalls extending from the base and terminating at the periphery of the playing surface forming an edge and supporting the playing surface at an angle relative to the ground surface, at least the front and rear sidewalls are angled inward towards the central hole from the base.   
     
     
         31 . The game board of  claim 30 , wherein the angle formed between the opposing sidewalls and the horizontal axis is between 80 and 90 degrees. 
     
     
         32 . The game board of  claim 31 , wherein the angle formed between the rear sidewall and the horizontal axis is between 66 and 76 degrees. 
     
     
         33 . The game board of  claim 32 , wherein the angle formed between the front sidewall and the horizontal axis is between 80 and 90 degrees. 
     
     
         34 . The game board of  claim 30 , wherein the angle formed between each of the front sidewall and the opposing sidewalls and the horizontal axis are equal. 
     
     
         35 . The game board of  claim 30 , wherein the angle formed between each of the front sidewall and the opposing sidewalls and the horizontal axis are equal to or greater than the angle formed between the rear sidewall and the horizontal axis.
