Publication number: 20240350882Abstract: A heated cornhole board is disclosed. In one aspect, a heating element may be placed on an underside of a playing surface. When power is supplied to the heating element, the heating element warms the material of the playing surface. This warming may raise the temperature of the playing surface above a dew point, precluding condensation from forming and/or accelerating evaporation of condensation forming on the playing surface. By preventing condensation from forming on the playing surface, gameplay does not change, thereby improving the game experience.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2024Publication date: October 24, 2024Inventor: Brendon Buxton Evans
