Yoot Nore New Years Game

Yoot No-re

Today my co-workers and I played this game. It's a traditional new-years activity.


Each team has little pieces, and you move around the paper based on how many points you roll.

You throw these sticks on to a blanket (or other designated area) and score points based on how many are facing "up" (the little hat and design is "up").

This is a fairly good demonstration of what the game is like. If you roll well (like he did), you get to go twice.

They are telling me "high! high!" (the other team) and mine is saying "no no no!" After I throw, they are saying "good! very good!"

This time I rolled badly. I started doing badly after they explained the rules of the game. I played a lot better before I knew what I was doing.

According to the Principal, I was the best player on my team. So I explained the concept of "Beginners Luck". We still lost, twice.
