About Glückshaus, from BoardGameGeek:

Glückshaus is a simple 15th-16th century dicing game popular among mercenaries then and historical re-enactors now. Modern board designs go back to Glonnegger who fused an early modern staking board for a card game with the dice game rules. A board shows the numbers from 2-12, excepting 4. Players take turns throwing two dice. On a 3,5,6,8,9,10,or 11, if the corresponding space holds a coin, they take it; if the space is empty, they place a coin. On a 7 ("the Wedding"), a coin is always placed on the board, forming a growing jackpot. A 2 ("the Pig") takes all the coins except the pile on 7; A 12 takes all the coins on the board. On a 4, nothing happens.
