Play Yut Nori with your family
Yut Nori is a family game first. Yunnori gives you three ways to play it together, whether everyone is on one sofa or spread across time zones.
Pass one phone around
Two to four players share a single phone and take turns. It is the easiest way to play at the dinner table.
Invite family to an online room
Create a room and share its four-character code. Two to four players join from their own phones, and every throw and move is checked by the game server so everyone sees the same game.
Practice against the computer
New to Yut Nori? A game against the computer is the quickest way to learn when to stack, when to capture and when to take a shortcut.
Use your family’s house rules
Every family plays a little differently. In an online room the host can turn Back-Do, the capture bonus and stacking on or off, require an exact landing to finish, and choose two, three or four pieces per player.
The six throws: 도·개·걸·윷·모·빽도
| Throw | Flat sides up | Move | Extra throw | Chance | Traditional animal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 도 (Do) | 1 | 1 forward | — | 3/16 (18.75%) | Pig |
| 개 (Gae) | 2 | 2 forward | — | 6/16 (37.5%) | Dog |
| 걸 (Geol) | 3 | 3 forward | — | 4/16 (25%) | Sheep |
| 윷 (Yut) | 4 | 4 forward | Yes | 1/16 (6.25%) | Cow |
| 모 (Mo) | 0 | 5 forward | Yes | 1/16 (6.25%) | Horse |
| 빽도 (Back-Do) | 1 (the marked stick only) | 1 back | — | 1/16 (6.25%) | — |
Odds assume four sticks that each land flat side up half the time, with Back-Do on (the standard setting). With Back-Do off, the marked-stick result counts as Do, so Do becomes 4/16.
Frequently asked questions
How many people can play together?
Two to four players, whether passing one phone around or in an online room.
How do relatives join an online game?
The host creates a room and shares its four-character code. Everyone else enters the code in Yunnori on their own phone.
Is Yut Nori good for children?
Yes. Counting steps from the sticks is simple, and in an online room you can use two pieces per player and turn Back-Do off for younger players.
Do purchases give anyone an advantage?
No. Purchases in Yunnori are cosmetic only. Nothing you buy changes a throw or a move.
