Yut Go gameplay: the 29-station board mid-game with a Mo! throw

The story of Yut Nori

Yut Nori (윷놀이) is played across Korea, especially at Seollal, the Lunar New Year, when families gather around a board drawn on paper or cloth. Its roots are often traced to the Three Kingdoms era, though no one knows its exact origin.

The four throws are named after farm animals — Do (pig), Gae (dog), Geol (sheep), Yut (cow) and Mo (horse) — and the loudest cheers in the house are always for Yut and Mo.

How to play

  1. Throw four sticks and count the flat sides.
  2. Move a mal. Yut and Mo — and every capture — earn another throw.
  3. Stop exactly on a corner or the centre to cut across the diagonal.
  4. Stack your mal to move together, catch rivals, and bring all four home first.

FAQ

Is it free?

Yes. Small banner ads sit outside the board; from level 4 you can choose to watch an optional video for a bonus, and a short full-screen ad may appear between levels now and then. One purchase removes banners and full-screen ads forever.

Are these the traditional rules?

They follow common modern descriptions of Yut Nori. Back-do is an optional, widespread variant; festival tiles and boons are our own additions. Where history is uncertain we made reasonable choices.

Can I play with family on one phone?

Yes — Party mode supports 2–4 players or 2v2 teams on one device, with bots filling any empty seats.

Does my progress sync?

Progress is saved on your device. Cloud sync (iCloud and Google Play Games) is on the way; purchases already restore from Settings on any device.
