I'm thinking aloud here :-)

It probably depends on whether you consider it a do thing or a viewing thing.

If you consider it a DIY thing, consider a functionally functioning roulette, it is not a toy. It can be used as such, but it is not. So it is best to go to the section Other and place it there as a new item (there are no roulettes in the catalog) "roulette".

If it is a viewing thing (not functional) I would enter it given the size with the figurines / figures / thumbnails under the type Miniatures .

Given the size, it really looks like a miniature to me.

Thanks Pegag, Disney Meentwijc

I have placed them under the heading other like Pegag because the roulette works.

What the value is seems to me a riddle. It looks like a vintage toy to me

Shouldn't roulette be in the "games" section? Several roulette games have already been recorded there.

Chevy,

you're right. I typed roulette with 2 l's in the search, which is why the site could not find the section.

Can you enter it under spell? Then I will reject your input under "other".

That's why I can't find it under Other! I haven't seen the object, but Pegag is right with his explanation. A game is only a game if you can also play with it. Otherwise it is more likely to belong to Miniatures, certainly not to Toys in any case. Or can you play with it as an object in itself (not as roulette)?

With a game of drafts in itself you cannot 'play', but it is and will remain a game ...

It's called a game of checkers, right? And if you can play checkers with it, then you are playing checkers, the game (letje) or potty that is. I have already spoken about the definition of Toys before and I think that this category is actually too general.

If you have a miniature of a checkerboard for example on a chain or in a dollhouse where you cannot can play stones, it is more a miniature than a game of checkers. The same reasoning should apply to the roulette item as well. I must therefore note that I have not seen the object yet. So I cannot judge the object yet.

That is indeed a miniature game and it is right there. I did make some adjustments, because you don't put the name of the manufacturer in the title. By the way, I think that field should be left empty, since what is on the back only refers to the origin.

Originally I think there is also some kind of strap or chain. And yes, very cute and it reminds me a lot of those round containers where you had to roll one or more balls in holes. Very frustrating then!
