Image Credit Just like my Deal or No Deal post, I found a way to do the same for Wheel of Fortune. This TV game show is a classic and I hope for this post to delight fans of the show. How to PlaySuggested # of Players: 2-6 1) Get a pencil, paper, and standard deck of cards. Feel free to substitute any of these materials if you can't find them. 2) Assign one person to be the host of the round and have everyone else be the contestants. The roles will rotate counterclockwise every round. 3) The host thinks of a phrase and tells the contestants the category, much like the rules of Hangman. On the paper, the host will underline a place for each letter of their phrase and separate words of their phrase with a space. For Example: Host thinks - "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" Host says - "The category is common sayings." Host writes - "_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ " 4) Shuffle the cards and assign point values to the card values. The 13 point system works the best where Ace is 1 point and King is 13 points. If you have jokers, they will act as the Bankrupt tile. Display the cards face down on the table in front of the contestants. This will be the "Wheel." 5) Play follows the Wheel of Fortune rules.

If their phrase was, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away," the host will get 29 points for 29 letters. 7) The game ends when everyone has been the host if you are playing in a group larger than 4. Otherwise, 3-4 rounds is suggested. The winner is the person with the most points! StrategyWhile it may seem advantageous for the host to make the longest word possible, it also means more points for the contestants if they can correctly guess the letters in the phrase.
