Abstract
A game apparatus utilizes a rotatable wheel in combination with a playing table. Both the table and wheel include indicia from the standard fifty-two card playing deck. In one embodiment, a pair of concentric wheels are utilized with hands arranged on an outer, stationary wheel and individual card indicia arranged on an inner rotatable wheel. The rotatable wheel is divided into four concentric annular areas, which areas are subdivided into alternating 52 space and 13 space configurations. The stationary wheel is subdivided into 13 spaces each of which has indicia therein indicative of a class of playing card hands or an instruction. A second embodiment utilizes a single rotatable wheel with fifty-two segments representing the fifty-two cards of the standard playing card deck in combination with a horizontal play surface which includes fifty-two spaces arranged in rows according to suit and columns according to denomination.
