Hi Samantha,
Have you lost track of your first thread?
It’s here:

It’s not possible to say what would be the most economical option without doing calculations. If you don’t feel inclined to do calculations, just go for convenience.
A Eurail Global Pass for 5 days within 1 month might suit you, or else a 4-day Swiss Travel Pass plus point-to-point tickets from Luzern to Munich.
If you plan to do several mountain trips or boat trips, you should compare the discounts you would get with a Eurail Pass v. with a Swiss Travel Pass. You should also check whether the mountain transport and boats you plan to take will be operating, as early December is off season, and some mountain transport and boats might not be operating until the second half of December, or might not operate for the whole winter season.
If you follow the links Yolanda gave you last time, you should get a clearer picture of what would suit you.
If you just want to make a quick decision, get a 4-day Swiss Travel Pass and buy a point-to-point ticket to Munich for Day 5.
Hope this helps!
