The toy according to the invention also contains a third game complex or skill test 64. Regarding this test includes a simulated pond 66 with different zones 66a, 66b and 66c showing different point values. This also includes several, preferably disk-shaped Pieces 68. When a player has moved his pawn to the special space 70 on which the simulated pieces are placed 68 lie, he tries to push the simulated stones 68 to the simulated pond 66, and receives a score awarded, which corresponds to the pond areas in which the three stones come to the boon. The field 70 can have multiple indentations or cutouts 70a in which the stones 68 are received.

The player can then pass his character through the cutout 72 of the partition wall part 28a slide forward and to the next and fourth game complex 74 advance. These include marble-like tokens 75 and upstanding fences 76, the limit an area that contains replicas of pumpkin pieces, and depressions 80 which are designed in size and shape to receive the game pieces 75. If the Playing pieces has reached the station marked 82, a player may only move as many spaces further as than the number of recordings 8o corresponds to in which he game pieces 75 from one side of the partition wall 5o through the Cutout 72 has rolled. Game variations can affect the number of chances the player has to bump the game elements 75 must be placed in the receptacle 80, as well as the number of squares the pawn has to make for each successful one Throw may move further.
