Our games are all made of leather and designed in such a way that the game almost wraps itself. The only thing you have to do is to press the game down slightly with one finger in the centre of the playing field, pull the string and the game has already packed itself. It should stay that way for transport. So all you have to do now is push the bead up to the bag that has just formed and the game is packed ready for travelling.
House of fortune is a dice game for 2 or more players. Any number of players can pass the time on a cosy evening.
House of fortun is an old South German game that probably dates back to the 15th century. In the Bavarian National Museum in Munich, for example, you can find game boards that date back to the 16th century. The game board was usually depicted as a house, which was divided into squares or rooms. Rooms with the numbers 3-11. However, the number 4 is often missing. At the time of the Landsknechte, many a warrior probably lost his pay playing this game. Gambling was forbidden at the time, which is why people met in secret. It is said that the owner of the game board made an agreement with the captain of the mercenaries: at a secret signal, the latter would enter the illegal players' tent at the time when there was as much money as possible on the board. To avoid being caught, the game and the money had to disappear quickly. The other players had to make a quick getaway and nobody could claim their coins. The captain received a share of the spoils.
