Does anyone know where I could find stackable wooden game pieces? Kinda like those Russian dolls that fit inside each other. I'd love to find a set of 4-5 sizes that all stack together for a game I'm working on. Prefer wooden but plastic would do.
Thanks!
I'm not sure if these would be suitable - they stack 'on' and not 'in'.

You could add fourth and fifth tiers by placing them on a wooden disc(s).
This wouldnt be fixed, but you could always drill the discs, along with the underside of the 3 pole counter, and connect them with another dowel stub.
Personally, I really like them, but they are very expensive for some regular pawns sawn into three sections and drilled to accomodate dowel.
A cheaper alternative would be to make your own using bigger pawns
I'm intrigued! Best of luck on your game and I hope to hear more about it soon.
I Googled 'blank unpainted Russian nesting dolls' and came up with a few sites. Sorry to say, I've never bought anything from the sites I've found. Below is a sample.

Thanks but I'm really looking at a hollow shape because it is important for the game that any larger piece could cover a smaller piece. It's also important that the piece underneath is completely hidden.
Thanks for the idea though
