Watch “Nyout | Ancient Korean Game | Rules | History | Strategy,” a how-to-play guide for Yut Nori from The Gaming Bench on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by The Gaming Bench on YouTube:
Nyout is an ancient Korean race game that dates back to the third century CE. It was enjoyed by nobles and commoners alike, and was a popular gambling game. I cover rules and strategy, as well as the history--including one scholar who believes Nyout to be the ancestor or nearly all board games.
