This game is played with a large spinning circle (dial) that is divided into four colors (red, yellow, blue, green). Each section has holes for 5 colored pegs as the same color as the quarter section. Each player decides which color they want to play and then takes the 5 pegs of their color. Each player, in turn, spins the dial. There is an arrow in the corner of the box. Whichever color the arrow is pointing at when the dial stops, the player of that color gets to put one of their pegs in one of the holes of that color, regardless of which player spun the dial. Winner is the first person who has succeeded in getting all 5 of their pegs into their colored area.
