Yut Nori rules · House rules

Yut Nori is played on a board of 29 spots with four sticks. You throw the sticks, move your pieces around the board, and the first side to get all its pieces home wins. Every family plays it a little differently, so PocketYut lets you switch house rules on and off.

What the sticks say

Throw	Move	How it lands
Do	1 space	One stick flat side up
Gae	2 spaces	Two flat
Geol	3 spaces	Three flat
Yut	4 spaces	All four flat. Throw again
Mo	5 spaces	All four round side up. Throw again
Back-do	1 back	Only the marked stick flat
Nak	None	A stick falls off the mat and the throw doesn’t count (house rule)

On the board

Catch: stop on an opponent and send them back to waiting, then throw again.
Stack: stop on your own piece and they move together from then on. If caught, they’re caught together.
Shortcut: stop on a corner (Mo or Dwimo) or the center (Bang) and you cut across diagonally next time.
Home: pass the start spot (Chammeogi) to get a piece home. First side with all pieces home wins.

House rules

Back-do

Use back-do sticks or not, what happens to a back-do with no piece on the board, and whether a waiting piece can use it to step onto the start spot.

Catch earns a throw

Whether a catch earns an extra throw, and whether yut or mo catches do too.

Nak

Turn on nak, where a stick falling off the mat cancels the throw.

Going home

Must you pass the start spot, or does just reaching it count?

Pieces

How many pieces each side plays with.

Use throws in order

After several throws, use the results only in the order you threw them.

Move clock

Each side gets a time bank; run out and you’re out. Always on in online games.

Board gadgets

Turn the gadgets on themed boards on or off.
