• The game is played between two partners or two teams who play in turn.
• There is no limit to the number of participants in a game, which means that the game can be played by a consideration.
• The start of the game is determined by each team casting the yut sticks.
• The team with the highest score starts first.
• Each team then casts the sticks in turn.
• Each team moves a mal according to the score achieved.
• A player achieving a yut or mo(see below board) is allowed to cast again.
• If a mal lands on a station occupied by the opponent's team, the opponent's mal is removed from the course and returned to the starting position, and the current player is allowed to cast again.
• If a mal lands on a station occupied by the own team, these mals can travel together from that point on (counting as one)
• The mals travel around the board and can move forward only.
• When landing on one of the big stations (in the corners and the center), the team can choose to take the shorter way should they wish to.
• The game is won by the team who bring all their mals home first, that is, complete the course with all their mals.
▪ Mals from black and white plastic tokens are generally found today, common mals are coins, buttons, erasers, small pebbles and so on.
▪ The board to made by thin and wide wood or stitched cloth. It comes in a square shape. ▪ There are two straight courses and two diagonal ones.
▪ Each of the straight courses comes with five stations, the diagonal ones have five stations, too. But one is shared.
▪ There are a total of 29 stations.
▪ The yut is made of wood. There are four sticks. One side is flat, the other side is a little bit rounded.
