About Us
My Story
Originally from Chicago, my yard game roots started by playing corn hole (bags) in the backyards and driveways of my friends houses during graduation parties and BBQ's. As I got older my eyes were opened to newer and better games...
Our Mission
Here at Yard Games World, there are three important missions.
My main mission is to spread knowledge of different cultures from all over the globe. I’ve been fortunate enough to have traveled the world and one thing every culture has in common, is the love and pride for their traditions. These games are a big part of these traditions and help provide a sense of identity for the communities they were developed in. Just like the different foods around the world...
“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”
