Thanks for your help, Blogland

I knew you would help me figure this out!! Thank you to


Kathy who identified the the cards as a German card


game called Skat.







(Tonight's sunset)





And to Andi of Andi's English Attic ,

and Terri The Treasure Hunter

for recognizing the dice as Poker Dice.






Apparently the two were placed in the same box but
do not have anything to do with each other. I am so glad
you all helped me with this mystery. Now I will separate
them and move on. Thanks for putting my mind at ease,

Annette

Blogland I need you

This is one of my favorite finds lately and I don't know what
it is.





It is made in West Germany and is in a nice leather box.





It is obviously some sort of card game but I can't figure
out what it is all about.





Each deck has 52 cards but the King is a "K", the Queen
is a "D", and the Jack is a "B". I am supposing that the
German words for each of those start with those letters???
But here is the real puzzle........






It includes 3 regular die and 5 that have pictures of the
King with a K and Queen with a Q and Jack with a J and
then little spades and hearts that I just don't get. Please
help if you can. What is it??? The box is very well made
and the cards tip up when the box opens.
I have no idea how old it is either or what it would be worth.

Any insight will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance,

Annette
