Nice! What are the designs on the sides?

Lovely! I like the simplicity of the design - and that you used blue!

Nice little puzzle. Thanks!

Thanks for the nice comments.
On each side there's a hebrew letter which are equivalent to numbers, the number represents the prize you get (usually how many chocolate coins).

Ahhhh, the insight comes pouring in.

Chocolate coins? Sign me up!

Ok it starts on the 21st this year, you are in.

nice one. :)
I'd rather have real coins right now...but I'll take chocolate. ;)

Nun, Gimel, Hei, Shin, which together form the acronym for Nes Gadol Haya Sham – "a great miracle happened there".

In Yiddish it is as follows:

Nun - nisht - "nothing" - nothing happens and the next player spins
Gimel - gants - "all" - the player takes the entire pot
Hey - halb - "half" - the player takes half of the pot, rounding up if there is an odd number
Shin - shtel ayn - "put in" - the player puts one marker in the pot

Unfortunately the right characters didn't work here.
