When you look at the 'yutnori' sticks, the round side resembles the heavens and represents 'yang' energy, while the flat side resembles earth and represents 'eum' energy. The star in the middle of the yutnori board is the North Star, and 28 constellations surround the North Star --- seven to each direction. When you play the game, the words 'do', 'gae,' 'geol,' 'yut' and 'mo' represent pigs, dogs, goats, cows and horses. Seen like this, you can say 'yutnori' is a game of celestial movements, where we take the animals closest to us and raise them to the stars where they play upon the constellations. Moreover, if we diagram the movement of the sun, it's the same as the movements on the game board. 'Yutnori' is a game that crosses over into the four dimensional world --- length, width, depth and time. The 'mal' (marker, literally 'horse') doesn't just move forward (future), but can also move backwards (past). But it must always return to where it began (present). They say Koreans are the only people in the world that have made a game played in all four dimensions and follows the principles of celestial movements. How to Play (from Wikipedia) The game is played between two partners or two teams who play in turns. Yut is a popular family game. There is no limit in the number of participants in a game, which means that the game can be played by a considerable group. When played with large groups it is not uncommon for some group members never to cast the sticks: they still participate discussing the strategy. The start of the game is determined by each team casting the yut sticks. The team with the highest score starts first. Each team then casts the sticks in turn. A player achieving a yut or mo is allowed to cast again. There is no limit to the number of times a player can cast again before the end of a turn, provided he or she keeps casting yuts or mos. The respective scores can be played separately if wished. Each team moves a mal according to the score achieved. If a mal lands on a station occupied by the opponent's team, the opponent's mal is removed from the course and returned to the starting position, and the current player is allowed to cast again. If a mal lands on a station occupied by the own team, these mals can travel together from that point on (counting as one). However, if an opponent lands their mal on a station occupied by several mals of the opponent, all these are removed from the course. The mals travel around the board and can move forward only. However, when landing on one of the big stations (in the corner and the centre), the team can choose to take the shorter way should they wish to. There are four possible courses. The game is won by the team who bring all their mals home first, that is complete the course with all their mals. A course is completed if a mal reaches the station where the game is started (cham-meoki). Yut is often played for three or more wins. Excerpts from : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yutnori |
