Does anyone recognize these game pieces?
I found them at a second hand store and having a hard time finding where they come from.
Here is what I have (all wooden):
4 blue roosters (?)
4 green pine trees
4 red ducks
4 brown rabbits
3 yellow chickens (?)
3 white sheep
1 normal size die with each color
1 large die with each symbol on its sides
I may be missing 1 sheep and 1 chicken and I don't know if it came with a board or not.
Any help in identifying these is appreciated.
Thanks!
(Caveat: This is not a complete answer.)
I recognize several of the animal figurines; I had them as a kid, but not as part of any game (and not with the large die). They were part of Discovery Toys' "Wooden Playtime" set (1983):
The small color-dot die is also associated with Discovery Toys and/or Ravensburger; for example, it's used in Snail's Pace Race (1985).
However, I have never seen the big wooden die before.
So basically, you might look for answers in the mid-1980s, in Germany, possibly Ravensburger (that is, Otto Maier Verlag, since the modern Ravensburger is apparently a different entity reincorporated in 1992 with the same logo), and almost certainly a game for young children (in case there was any doubt on that count :)).
