Watch “Gluckshaus is a Medieval dice game from central Europe. Will the dice roll in your favor?,” a how-to-play guide for Glückshaus on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by NewVenture Games on YouTube:

It wasn't called "Gluckshaus" until the 20th century, but over 500 years ago this little gambling game was first played in central Europe. It's known as Jeu du Sept, Gioco della Barca, Arlequinspiel, and in England as "Lucky Pig." It's not much of a game, but simple a matter of luck, but the game adapts well to a party atmosphere. I've seen adaptations of the game at charity events that really get people involved in the games "push your luck" aspect (like most gambling games). As always, thanks for watching! I hope you will subscribe and become a frequent visitor to the channel.

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.
