''Golpae'' is a Korean gambling game with some similarities to poker and mahjong, sometimes referred to as "Korean dominoes". It was largely the preserve of the landed classes since it required expensive playing pieces and had a complex scoring system.〔 Numbered tiles (made of bone, ivory, horn or bamboo) were dealt to the players, who took turns to pick up and discard pieces in order to create a scoring hand. Such hands included: *three matching numbers/suits *three matching numbers, no matching suits *original hand all of same suit *two pairs of matching numbers, one pair of matching suits *four matching numbers and suits The value of scoring hands was measured in ''po'', with six ''po'' being the highest score possible. Winnings were distributed based on players' scores. Unlike gambling games played with ''tujeon'' cards, which were banned several times, ''golpae'' never caused sufficient social problems to warrant being made illegal.〔 ''Golpae'' pieces were also used for fortune-telling, with pieces being flipped over at random and predictions made based on the numbers revealed. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Golpae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
