Spinner (game)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A spinner is a method of randomly determining something in a game, often movement. There are two types of spinners:

1. A balanced arrow anchored to a hard backing, usually cardboard, with printed sections. A spinner is used in some games instead of Dice because a spinner provides more space to print text or images. This type of spinner may have different-sized sections to provide a random distribution that would be more difficult to achieve with dice.
2. A polyhedral top that is spun (rather than rolled like dice) to produce a random result. An example of this type of spinner is a Dreidel.
