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.
