This causes the wheel to move, and the arrow on the wheel to point to another number. The player moves that many spaces down the track. Whoever gets to the end of the track first, wins the game.The game box comes with a Spinning Wheel, a Post, 3 Acrobat clips, 5 player pieces, an Acrobat die, and illustrated rules.
