Yute, a traditional Korean game

Yute or Yute No Ri is a popular traditional Korean game usually played on New Years Day (or Lunar New Years). Everyone sits on the floor on top of a mat or towel. There are four sticks, called "yute karak." You throw them in the air and depending on how they land is how you score. An easy and fun game for the whole family! Available now at Little Seouls!

Baduk for Children

I always grew up with my dad going to baduk clubs and watching the men in the family play baduk with each other. Similar to chess, baduk is a game of intellectual and analytical skills. Koreans say it is great for one's mind and discipline. It is far more popular than Chess in countries of Japan, China and Korea. There are many baduk schools in Korea that teach children and you can even find them in the US.

Baduk is also known as "Go." More information can also be found at American Go Association
