Yutnori is Korea’s favourite New Year board game, played with four half-round sticks. In the first lunar month, families also used the sticks for Yutjeom, a fortune for the year ahead read from three throws.
Each throw scores from one to four by how many sticks land flat side up — Do, Gae, Geol or Yut (the rarer Mo, all four rounded sides up, counts as four in the fortune). Three throws give three numbers, one of 64 combinations, and each combination has a short traditional verse with an image from nature, such as "a fish meets water". You can throw virtual sticks, or enter the results of a real throw.
Yutjeom was a light family custom for the start of the year, read together and laughed over. The verses are best taken in the same spirit.
What if I throw a Mo? In the game Mo is the best throw, but for the fortune it is simply counted with Yut, so every throw maps to one of four values and the three throws to one of 64 verses.
