Board game apparatus and chance means

A chance device for randomly selecting radial directions, comprising:

• a frame;
• means rotatably mounted on said frame including at least a manually graspable portion to facilitate rotation thereof;
• a source of illumination on said rotating means;
• means for allowing emission of illumination from said frame at predetermined positions;
• an indexing means for engaging said rotating means to positionably align said source of illumination with one of said predetermined positions;
• and
• centrifugally actuatable switch means for intermittently energizing said source of illumination upon the termination of rotation of said rotating means.

A rotating chance device for randomly selecting a radial direction by directing a beam of illumination along said direction, comprising:

• a housing defining an internal chamber;
• a plurality of apertures defined in said housing at locations corresponding to said radial directions;
• a spindle rotatably mounted on said housing and adapted for manual rotation;
• a source of illumination secured to said spindle and rotatable therewith;
• and
• a centrifugally actuated switch means coupled to said source of illumination to intermittently energize said source of illumination upon selection of said radial direction.
