Wheel of Fortune Board Games

Easy.  The Pressman Deluxe wheel was the best wheel.  The Tyco puzzle board was the best puzzle board.  Combine the two together for maximum fun.  That's what I do ^_^!

Sorry to dig this one back up, but it seemed more efficient than starting a completely new thread.

For the Deluxe wheel, how many "additional wedges" come with it, and what are their values?

Don't hold me to this, but IIRC, it was the "big money wedges," i.e. $2500/$3500/$5000? I know that there was a 2500 and 5000. Maybe even $1000?

I believe there was a $1000 wedge (as the wheel went 100/200/300/400/500/100 like it did on the daytime version in that one spot), either $2500 or $3500, and a $5000 wedge to snap on the wheel.

I remember thinking that the $2500 or $3500 looked odd as there were not yet $2500 or $3500 on the show at that point (1985)....

From someone who has this, they are $500, $900, $1000, $2500, $5000, and Bankrupt.  According to the instructions, a game is four rounds, with the $1000 space to be added in round 2, $2500 in round 3, and $5000 in round 4.

Does it specify when that snap-on "Bankrupt" wedge should be added?

(BTW, Post #800 for me)

Strictly a guess, but I would think it happens before Round 2.

Lemon's right, it goes over the Free Spin for round 2.

Nine-five-oh here.  [muttering]I can't believe Adam beat me to 1,000.[/muttering]

I agree.

To be complete it should be noted that the Milton Bradley editions include the long-forgotten rule of vowels can't be bought unless one spins "Buy a Vowel" or all the consonants have been revealed. You can see the "Buy a Vowel" space on the box art.

I bought a seldom seen edition of WoF at a Burbank, California drug store. It's made by Lucky Numbers, Inc. The wheel is battery powered and approximates the size and shape of a flashlight. The puzzle board is similar to Milton Bradley's only smaller.

Finally, there's Mattel old TV Play-along WoF. Two VHS cassettes could be purchased separately. This has always seemed a rather klutzy way to play Hangman and besides you can't save "Free Spins" for the next puzzle!
