NYOUT (R.C. Bell and Culin) Korean racing game The pictured set contains: 1 game board 9 horses 4 throwing sticks game rules Nyout (means: Horses) is one of the many Pachisi variants. Many rules of that game apply in full. The board is formed by a circle containing 29 points. The center and the four main points are larger than the others and have special meaning. Whoever ends up on this can turn (it is not necessary). The sticks indicate the number of places that a horse may be moved: 1,2,3 or 4 white: 1,2,3 or 4 moves, 0 white: 5 moves. To set up a piece (also at the start of the game) 4 or 5 must be rolled. The number of eyes of a throw may be spent on multiple horses. Whoever throws three has the choice to move 1 horse 3 points or three horses 1 point or 1 horse 1 point and 1 horse two points. With two players each player has 4 horses, with three players 3 and with four players each player has 2 horses. With four players, the opposing players work together against the other two. The cooperating players may move each other's pieces. A horse that lands on a space that already has another horse from one of the other players on it sends that enemy horse back to the start. A horse belonging to the player himself or the player that is being cooperated with can remain standing. There can be more horses of the same color or the same team at a point. These may be placed like a horse: if, for example, four horses are placed on a square and three are thrown, all four horses may move three squares. These horses can of course also be beaten like a horse. The team or player that first clears all horses from the board is the winner.
