Five-field kono, also known as o pat kono, is a Korean strategy game first introduced to Western audiences by Penn Museum Director (and massive game fan) Stewart Culin (1858-1929). Students will learn the history of this game and discover what Culin found so appealing about it. They will then design a five-field kono board and learn to play this easy-to-learn but hard-to-master strategy game.
Recommended materials: Blank sheet of paper, a writing utensil, a ruler, and fourteen counters (seven of each type) for game pieces.
