context_page_description: Yut Nori, also known as Yunnori, Nyout, and Yoot, is a traditional board game played in Korea, especially during Korean New Year. The game is also called cheok-sa or sa-hee. The combining-form -nori means 'game'.
  Although the origins of this popular family game are unclear, some research suggests that yut was played as early as the Three Kingdoms. The Taiping Imperial Reader states that people of Baekje played a board game similar to Po Yut, which is believed to be similar to Pachisi, a board game originating in India.
  There is a folk explanation for the game, describing a bet by some villagers to raise five different kind of livestock: pigs, dogs, sheep, cows and horses. Each of the villagers would raise only one type.
  The board and the game are known to have been used in casting hexagrams, particularly in mountain-areas and small farming-villages, but this is no longer practiced.
