ABSTRACT:
A fast action game includes a wheel imprinted with the letters of the alphabet and numbers. The wheel is rapidly rotated by a motor in response to player actuation of a switch. When the switch is released, the wheel will coast to a stop with an indicator pointing to one of the letters or numbers on the wheel. Players then complete a scoresheet printed with various categories of items with a word beginning with the letter indicated by the wheel. If the wheel indicates a number preselected by one player, the player receives a bonus score. Play continues until all categories are completed by one player. A scoring system enables the determination of the finish rank of the other players.
