Description

What an innovative game! A freely-rotating spinner, bounded by the numbers 1-12 (similar to a dart board) sits between 4 colored arrows. Each turn, players draw a number and arrow color, dictating which arrow should point to which number by the end of their turn. They then either add a single weight (small, medium, or large) or remove a weight from the spinner, sending it spinning until it reaches equilibrium. If the arrow points to the number when it settles out, they get the card! The first person to collect 3 cards wins. Simple, intuitive, and fun to play over and over. For 2-4 players, with a 5 to 10-minute playtime.
