Dreidel Game
Redesign Contest

A new spin on a classic holiday game...

The traditional game played with the dreidel can take a long time. Mathematicians have shown that the expected number of spins in a game of dreidel is the square of the number of game pieces each player begins with. Start with 20 pieces and you're looking at 400 spins until someone cries that they lost all their gelt.

It's up to you to bring some light to this beloved game.
