A player wheel to decide who goes first
Everyone is ready, but who starts? Let the wheel choose. TOCKA uses the names and colours of the players in your game to show whose turn it is.

These tools are available in the TOCKA app. This page explains how they work; it is not an online game tool.
How to use it in TOCKA
- Set up the players in your game and open the turn picker.
- Choose automatic mode for a spin that stops on its own, or manual mode to use the stop button.
- Start the spin. In manual mode, pressing stop starts the slowdown; if nobody presses it, the wheel begins slowing automatically when the waiting limit is reached.
- Check the selected name and continue your board game. You can run another draw whenever you need one.
Ideas for your next game
Make a random choice
Use the wheel when your table's rules call for choosing someone at random. It does not automatically organise a complete turn order.
Frequently asked questions
Can I choose the winner by timing the stop button?
No. The player is selected randomly when the spin starts. The stop button controls when the slowdown begins, not who is chosen.
Are eliminated players included?
Yes. The wheel still includes eliminated players from the game; it is not restricted to the remaining active players.
