Description

Heap Big Spinner Fun Game is a 20-card game manufactured by Warren Paper Co. in the 1950s. It is a part of their Build Rite Toy line. Warren Paper Co. produced card games and other products from the 1940s-1970s.

In each game, players are dealt 5 cards. Any remaining cards are discarded. Then the players take turns spinning the spinner. Whatever the arrow lands on, the player must look at their hand. If it landed on a card the player has, they then hand the card(s) to the player to their left. If the spinner doesn't match any of the player's cards, then the turn is over. The first player to get rid of all cards is the winner.

The deck contains 20 playable cards and 1 cardboard spinner. There are 5 characters, each with 4 cards: a cowboy, cowgirl, clown, Indian, and scarecrow. The cards have a white background with a color-blocked character with bold outlines. The back of the cards are tan with a lattice pattern. "Warren Built Rite Games" is written on a diamond in the center of the card back.
