The game may be played by any desired number ranging from two to eight persons. The chart is divided into 8 circles. numbered 1 to 8, consecutively. These circles are divided into a number of sections corresponding to their numbers. That is circle number 8 is divided into eight sections, circle number 7 is divided into seven sections, etc.

The centre of the circles is provided with a. pivot on which there is pivotally mounted a pointer 11.

There are five sets of playing cards numbered from 1 to 10: or cards that have from one to ten zeros on it, a sample of which is shown in Fig. 2, making it fifty cards and three extra cards on which there is a large zero, as shown in Fig. 3, ma ring it a total of fifty three cards.

If there are seven players, they each sit opposite the lines designated by number 7 and have each a section between lines 7-7, etc. Five cards are dealt, one at a time to each player and are turned face up by the dealer.
