Folks, I felt like taking the time to do some spinners from international adaptations of Wheel of Fortune board games. Right now, here are the following. From Germany From France From Holland (Same money value order and color pattern as France's, except the difference is the non-cash spaces are in Dutch rather than French.) They're all I could do for now.

I never really bothered with making most of the European spinners, with the exception of Italy's. I have yet to make the spinner from the one I've gotten, but I did the one used in the later version and even made a final round counterpart. germanname.deviantart.com/art/La-Ruota-Della-Fortuna-Spinner-141900962www.deviantart.com/art/La-Ruota-della-Fortuna-Spinner-2-417725728 Now I will tell you some tidbits about Milton Bradley's Polish edition. The layout should be the same as France's, but I do not know how the Free Spin and Lose A Turn spaces are positioned (as some adaptions swapped those wedges. I am not at allcertain about Lose A Turn being Strata Koleji, but I can tell you that Bankrupt is different. I think the Polish Game's Bankrupt was Bankrutujące, but I'm not too certain about the last three letters. Although Poland's TV version never used a Free Spin space as far as I can tell, if they had one, it would probably be Dodatkowy Obrót. Here's the spinner used in Italy's first version. Sorry about the quality. www.flickr.com/photos/12073552@N05/9209260118/ www.flickr.com/photos/12073552@N05/9206477513/ Only Spain's version had their color scheme resemble it's Italian counterpart. Spain's Bancarrota (2 R's and 1 T) space is in the same position as Italy's Bancarotta (1 R and 2 T's), but Spain's layout is the same as the French version, with Lose A Turn renamed Pasa and Free Spin as Vuelve A Tirar. Here's Mexico's spinner just since I have that too. www.flickr.com/photos/12073552@N05/2632842810/ Anyway, just my tidbit for MB's international versions.

Since you brought these up, here are a few more. From Italy (the early version). And from Mexico. (Sorry for the unclear quality of the logo) In addition, the French, Dutch, and Mexican WOF home game spinners have something in common. That's right, the money amount order. Know any other international adaptations with that same order? Plus, there are international adaptations that have the same order as the U.S. spinner, such as those from Australia, Germany, and England, just to name a few. I don't know why Croner chose to use the U.S. layout for their Aussie versions.

Here's another European adaptation. "Hungary" for this? Would you believe it? Same color pattern as the French, Dutch, and whatever else versions.

And germanname1990, since you mentioned Spain's layout the other day, check this out. How'd I do?

Well, I actually was thinking about editing the Italian one to put in the Spanish values in for you, but I don't see the need now. You did well. You even got the letters of the Pasa wedge at the right size!

Here's my attempt at Denmark's "Lykkehjulet".

You know, if Denmark used the colors seen on their box cover, there would've been more variety.

I couldn't agree with you more on this, Billy. Besides, here's the spinner based on the box art. How it should have been designed back then. I didn't know the rest of the krone amounts, so I had to base it on the layout of the other versions. Even the non-cash wedges were arranged somewhat like the Italian version.
