Visit next year to learn more about New Years from other Asian Pacific Islander American communities.

Yut nori, a traditional Korean New Year game, includes a game board and four sticks that are tossed into the air like dice. Players move their counters according to how the sticks fall. The object of the game is to get four mal, or markers, around the board first. Photo by Jay Koh
