THE MODERN OUIJA
The modern Ouija board often contains two arc's of letters as well as a straight line of numbers. This is the classic setup of a Ouija board and most follow this pattern, varying only slightly. Important aspects of the Ouija include areas that contain the words "yes", "no", and "goodbye". These allow for a smoother, less time consuming Ouija experience. (Buckland, 73)
DIAL PLATE TALKING BOARDS
Earlier, home made, spiritualist versions of talking boards were called dial boards. They were made popular during the Spiritualist movement. Rather than rectangular, the board is round. Letters and numbers surround the board in a circular fashion. (Buckland, 74)
