Title: Spinner game device

Abstract: A plurality of discs of progressively different radii are rotated about an upright post by a spinner member having a one-way driving connection with the discs. The discs are free to overrun the spinner member when the latter is slowed and stopped. The discs are also bodily movable as a group axially up and down the post; in their upper position the discs are brought into driving engagement with the spinner member and in their lower position the discs are freed from the spinner member but their rotation is snubbed and eventually halted by stop means. A control member is provided for bodily raising and lowering the discs as a group to enable the discs to be either rotated by the spinner member while in elevated position or braked to a stop while in lowered position. The discs carry different indicia on their exposed peripheral margins and designed to represent different games. The device includes a cover member which, depending on the game, has one or more radial slots in which aligned portions of the peripheral margins of the discs are exposed.
