Rules for Gluckhaus (House of Fortune)

Image
Gluckshaus (House of Fortune) This is a photograph of my hand stamped boards they are available for sale they email me for prices I have on cotton or linen or silk Gluckshaus  Is a very simple game there are only 2 known surviving boards from before the 17 century. There are a few theories one from Lady Heather Hall (Heather Rocchi) A Master playing card researcher and reconstruction artist, is that the game was played with just playing cards. This is backed by the concept that some boards from Germany have the Number 10 as a flag bearer, a boar for the number 2, a king or Ober for the 12. this would play into most of the rules of the game.   How to play Gluckshaus All persons wanting to play anti into the 7, then take turns rolling 2, 6 sided dice.

When players land on other players including the prison and the well both players pay one stake. Fist player to land on 63 exactly wins the pool. Geese are not hazards.  (Bonus rule modern; you win one stake back every time you land on a Goose) 63 must be reached exactly, such Overthrows are completed by counting the excess spaces backwards from 63.  You will notice that the geese on the board are spaced in two sequen...
