German version of Wheel of Fortune, the legendary television game show. The game combines the simple mechanics of Hangman with the high-stakes excitement of a giant, colorful carnival wheel. 3 contestants compete to solve hidden word puzzles. On their turn, a player spins the wheel to determine the cash value or prize they are playing for. They then guess a consonant. If the letter is in the puzzle, they earn the value of the spin multiplied by the number of times that letter appears. Players can also use their winnings to buy vowels. The game is famous for its Bankrupt and Lose a Turn wedges. A single unlucky spin can wipe out a player's entire round earnings. Strategy is key: Players must decide when to keep spinning for more money and when it is safer to solve the puzzle to secure their bank. The contestant with the highest total earnings at the end of the main game advances to the Bonus Round. Here, they face one final puzzle with a chance to win a massive prize.
