ABSTRACT:
A move selector for randomly determining the movement of sailboat tokens along a sailboat racing game board. The move selector comprises a disc rotatably mounted within a cylindrical housing. A spindle is mounted on the disc axis for manually rotating the disc. The disc comprises two sets of numerals spaced at angularly equidistant intervals. Each set of numerals has an associated arrow on the disc which extends radially from the disc axis. A mask positioned over the disc has a plurality of windows and an arrow adjacent each window pointing radially away from the disc axis. The windows are spaced at angularly equidistant intervals such that when the rotating disc comes to a stop only one set of numerals and its associated arrow is visible through the windows. The associated arrow determines the wind direction. The arrows adjacent each window determine the different directions a sailboat token can move and the numerals visible in each window determine the distance a sailboat can move in each respective direction. The magnetic attraction between a circular steel sheet mounted on the underface of the disc and a magnet located below the disc biases the rotating disc to a stop and ensures the alignment of the numerals and arrows with the windows.
