This game is better seen once: how to toss the sticks, how to count steps, and where you can take a shortcut. The videos also show how pieces move as a pair and how bonus throws work, which are easy to miss in text. Hit play and try it. In a few minutes you’ll be tossing sticks like a pro. And if you want the Yut Nori rules to be always at hand, download the printable guide and keep it next to the board.

It’s a great game for a group, and you can learn more about it, including its history and different tricks, on our blog. We’ve also gathered everything there that sets the mood for evenings at the table: ideas for family get-togethers, stories about how games help kids learn, and tips on what to give as gifts for the holidays.
