Abstract

An electronic game, including a base, and a spinning unit affixed to the base and adapted to spin relative thereto. The spinning unit includes a display mechanism adapted to displaying text that dictates actions to be taken in the electronic game. The electronic game also includes a circuit for controlling the display mechanism, and a sensor including a magnet disposed in the base and a magnetic switch disposed in the spinning unit for communicating with the circuit. Whereby the circuit triggers the display mechanism based on the communications from the sensor independent of a minimum speed requirement.
