Yunnori (English spelling)

Japanese: ユンノリ（英語表記）yunnori

A traditional Korean game similar to Sugoroku, also written as "Tsugoki". It is mainly played during the New Year holidays, and is still popular in Korea today. Yut (柶) consists of four kamaboko-shaped pieces of wood split vertically from a stick 10-15 cm long and 2-3 cm in diameter, which are thrown into the air with a shout, and the score is determined by which side is on when the piece falls. The pieces on the board, called "Horse Fields", are moved according to the score. Points are divided into five grades, with 3 hidden and 1 open (when one piece falls open) being called "To" (tu or pig), 2 hidden and 2 open being called "Ge" (open, dog), 1 hidden and 3 open being called "Kol" (jelly, chicken), and 4 open being called "Yut" (flow, cow). The number of open parts is the score, and 4 hidden is called "Mo" (mu, horse), which is 5 points.
