A vintage 1980s–1990s French mechanical board game toy, farm themed, made entirely of colorful plastic. In the center, a large farmhouse occupies most of the board without covering the path spaces. The house is tall and wide, with a red flat tiled roof (French roof tiles). On the top of the roof, there is a bird nest where a metal marble starts. The marble is mechanically ejected from the nest, not simply dropped. The marble rolls along a visible gutter attached to the edge of the roof, following the roof slope. At the end of the gutter, the marble falls down and is struck by a vertical hammer fixed to the side of the house, very close to ground level. After being hit by the hammer, the marble rings a small metal bell positioned near the base of the house. Around the house, the green board represents grass, with a colored path of square spaces forming a loop around the building. On one side of the board, there is a small spinning wheel (spinner) used by players to trigger actions. The scene has few decorative elements, minimal farm animals, no automaton figures, no characters. Style: realistic toy photography, soft studio lighting, slightly nostalgic 80s–90s toy aesthetic, high detail, clear mechanisms visible, no modern elements. “the gutter along the roof must be clearly visible” Mehr sehen
