Yutnori is a traditional board game played by two people or two teams. Players throw four wooden sticks into the air and depending on which side the sticks land, their tokens proceed on the board. The player or the team whose token has finished the circuit around the board first wins. Koreans have played yutnori on the first day of the New Year as well as Jeongwol Daeboreum (a traditional holiday celebrating the first full moon after the Lunar New Year). Although industrialization and urbanization have brought seismic changes to Korean society, Koreans have not stopped playing yutnori. As a result, yutnori enjoys a long history and has become Korea’s representative recreational activity that embodies the Korean people’s identity and values.

Yutnori is and has always been a family or community event. Festivals marking the start of the New Year as well as Jeongwol Daeboreum often feature cheoksa (yutnori) competitions even today, proving that yutnori is indeed sustainable throughout generations. It is intriguing how it’s the game of luck, yet there is variability stemming from the number of cases. It is also quite intuitive and easy to learn even for first-timers. It can also accommodate and adapt depending on who’s playing and where it’s being played.
