Flintstones set

The Flintstones is one of the animated cartoon series I grew up with as a child, and I especially loved the inventive ways in which modern-day appliances were implemented using stone-age tools and animals. Of course, a Flintstone chess set had to be added to the collection (with thanks to eBay).

As with many of these sets based on tv series or movies, the board is pretty basic.

One side has Barney and Betty Rubble as king and queen, Hoppy as bishop, Bamm-Bamm as knight, Barney's car as rook, and Snoots as pawns.

The other side has Fred and Wilma Flintstone as king and queen, Dino as bishop, Pebbles as knight, Fred's car as rook, and Wooly as pawns.

The pieces are made of Plastoy, like in my smurfs, Simpsons and Disney H&V sets.

Notice that the vehicles on both sides are too large for the size of the squares on the board ...

Yabba-dabba-doo!
