Historical Games- House of Fortune TCS207 £12.00

House of Fortune – The Tudor Game of Chance
Originally from Germany, House of Fortune (Gluckshaus), also known as Lucky Pig quickly spread across Europe from the late 15th Century. It is one of the first stake-board games (eventually evolving into casino games in the 19th century) and as such this is no more or less than a gambling game where coins (tokens, sweets and so on) are won or lost on the roll of two dice. Three or more can play and anyone can drop in or out of a game at any time. Contents: cloth House of Fortune board, two wooden dice and full rules. Suitable for up to eight players. Not suitable for young children.
