1. A game comprising a plurality of bags and a substantially vertically mounted game board, the game board including a plurality of apertures defined by a front panel of the game board, a back panel, and sides, the game board comprising a plurality of internal shelves between the front panel, the sides, and the back panel to provide different compartments, and a bottom shelf of the game board to catch bags that fail to enter the apertures, wherein the substantially vertically mounted game board is configured such that bags entering an aperture may be captured on an internal shelf associated with the aperture to score game points, wherein the internal shelf is positioned lower than the aperture in the front panel to provide an edge to retain a bag on the internal shelf so that a bag that rebounds off of the back panel of the substantially vertically mounted game board is retained in a compartment associated with the aperture.
