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. www.thegamingbench.com Nyout build video: https://youtu.be/6vOTh2y7dxs Nyout anti-cheating device: https://youtu.be/FBU2DjTEo7E PHOTO CREDITS CC BY-SA 2.0 KR 국립국어원 https://krdicmedia.korean.go.kr/front/search/searchResultView.do?file_no=104750 MUSIC CREDITS Master of the Feast by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1400019 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ Brandenburg Concerto No4-1 BWV1049 - Classical Whimsical by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100303 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ REFERENCES Publications Bell, R.C.

About Yut Nori, from BoardGameGeek:

A race game which originated in ancient Korea. The 29 spaces on the board form a cross inside a circle. The spaces on the circle at the four intersections with the arms of the cross have special functions. One of these spaces is the entry and exit space, the others allow a horse landing on them to shortcut through the middle of the circle. The object is to be the first to get all of your horses around the circle and off the board. Dai Jobi is a game similar to Nyout and may need to be merged into this game page. Zon Ahl is a similar game played by Native Americans and probably derived from Nyout. Pima Indian Stick Game is a similar game played by Native Americans and probably derived from Nyout. Namuhana presented at Essen Spiel 2009 a new rethemed edition named Penguin C.
