Yut: The Kart Racing Edition
Abe Go, Isaac Ahn, Youngil Won
Our group made an expansion to the traditional Korean game,
Yut. We made a kart racing edition to it, using orgami karts as horses. We
added a whole new set of track and items with hopes to make the game more
exciting and at the same time more complex, as Yut itself is fairly simple. We
added items that could be laid before leaving the spot such as mines, water
balloon and bananas which would punish the next player’s kart that comes to it.
Other offensive items were missiles, magnet, kamikazi and drift along with
shield items that could block them off. The addition of items was fantastic,
not only did it give Yut a whole new mechanic but it also was a game changer. A
player could be one step away from the finish line but instantly get his/her
kart destroyed or moved backwards. Play testing was very helpful as we learned
the need to narrow down the number of items a player could hold and the number
of items one could use in one turn. Also we found that we needed to make the
first row a safe zone as some were not able to get past even the first row of
tracks. Our edition to the game was very popular among our Korean friends and
we feel that our friends are already drawn to our expansion set than the
original game.
