usually play this game at seol-nal. I think 윷놀이(Yut Nol Ee) is the most common game for korean and the most folksy game.Before the beginning of the game, You should put down a carpet which made of straw. and then throw the 4 sticks at the same time on a carpet. and move 4 horses on the map. You can see 5 situations which indicated from upside and downside of the sticks.If there is only one upside stick, you can move your horse just one step on the map. we call it '도(do)', and two upsides is called '개(gae)’. you can move 2 steps. three upsides is called '걸(gul)‘ and 3 steps. and 4 upside is called '모(mo)’, and 5steps. 4 downsides we call it '윷(yut)' The rule is simple, throw 4 sticks and Step forward your horse for the ending point. The first team whose all 4 horses arrived the ending point is winner.
