Watch “This is not an imitation or a knock-off ! This is the TRUE Game of the Boat!,” a how-to-play guide for Glückshaus on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by NewVenture Games on YouTube:

It's the name of the game that intrigued me. But upon further inspection, I found an interesting story that spans centuries of game genealogy. It's simply an incarnation of a common pub game - a sort of put-and-take called The Game of Seven, King & Pig, and Gluckshaus. This one happens to be an Italian derivative that was popular in the early 19th century. It represents a era a advancement in print technology and the proliferation of paper games, including the very large family of Games of Goose.

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.
