Glückhaus
Need 2 dice and three or more players (can be played with two players
but it gets a bit dull).
The board is arranged in the following manner
........12
...9...10...11
...6.....7.....8
.......5....3
..........2
Tarot or period playing cards can be used if one does not have a
board made. My board is made from pictures copied from period
playing cards. Our camp chaplains board was copied from woodcuts
of the 12 positions of the cross (he is a Lutheran after all).
Note: There is no 4. Rolling 4 is effectively a pass.
All players start the game by putting a coin on 7.
The player rolls the dice. If a 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 is rolled,
the player checks the number for a coin. If there is a coin there,
the player takes it. If there is no coin, the player puts one down
on that number.
If a seven is rolled, the player puts always puts a coin in (the pile coins
on 7 could get quite large).
If a two is rolled, the player takes the coins on all numbers except 7.
If the player rolls 12, the player takes all coins.
If a 4 is rolled, the player does nothing.
After the player rolls, the dice are passed to the left.
