Glückshaus | old German gambling game | Rules| History | Strategy

Description provided by The Gaming Bench on YouTube:

Glückshaus is a super simple gambling game originally from the 17th century. Popular today with history re-enacters, I explain the simple rules, explore the game's surprisingly racist past, and provide a smart strategy to win at the game every time.
