The wheel was rolled along a trough and contestants threw spear-like sticks at it, trying to stop it by having their stick enter the center of the wheel, thus making it fall over. Lesser points were made by getting the stick part way through the spokes, each of which gave a different value according to its color. The winner had to get twenty points. This game was played by men and was often accompanied by betting. | Turner, Nancy J., R. Bouchard and Dorothy I.D.
