I've been trying to figure out a layout of this version, and although I'm glad I finally got one.
I found a collection of Odeon promos. Ruota begins at 5:40.
Here's another promo that show what seems to be a later round layout.
In that promo, the name of the Free Spin space is barely shown, but I was able to figure it out. The word used is "Rilancia." For those who remember France's "Relance" space from 1987, that's how I was able to figure Italy's out.
Lose A Turn is most likely Perde Un Turno.

Folks, I just won a rather rare Italian Wheel board game on Ebay. Having bid on it earlier this week, I noticed last night that the layout used in the game is most likely the same as the round one configuration from Odeon's version.
Obviously, we've yet to know the complete layout with 3 million liras as top value, but once we know that layout, I will make concept layouts for a second spinner with those values.

Guys, I've got some good news. My Italian board game just came in yesterday, and the value layout is indeed the same as Odeon's version. Here's what each of the non-monetary wedges mean. Bankrupt is "Bancarotta" (Spain spells it Bancarrota) Lose A Turn is "Perdi Un Turno" Free Spin is "Rilancia" Various elements of the game such as the spinner was made in 1987 while the game was completely finished in 1988. Here are some pictures of the game I just put up over at Flickr.     Now while do know the layout of the first round of Odeon's version and that all the values are color-coded (although the home version's spinner isn't exactly colored that way), we've still yet to know the entire layout of the Wheel with three million liras as top values, but here's what I got so far, from the Bankrupt and going clockwise. Note the ones with the question marks are ones I do not know. Bancarotta 3.000.000 50.000 700.000 300.000 500.000 1.000.000 300.000 Rilancia 500.000 2.000.000 (Possibly) ?00.000 ?00.000 ?00.000 ?00.000 500.000 Perdi Un Turno 1.000.000 100.000 500.000 700.000 100.000 300.000 1.000.000 Also, in case you're wondering about how much vowel's cost on Odeon Ruota, my guess is that they cost 200,000 liras since that's what they cost on the home version. |
