Tiddlywinks

Tiddlywinks is a tabletop game played with small plastic discs called winks and a pot. The objective of the game is to be the first player to pot all of their winks. Players use a larger disc called a squidge to flick their winks into the pot. The game is played on a flat surface, typically a table, and the pot is placed in the center.

The game originated in England in the late 19th century and gained popularity in the early 20th century. It has since spread internationally, with organized competitions and championships held regularly. Tiddlywinks can be played by individuals or in teams, and there are various strategies and techniques that players can employ to improve their game.

There are several variations of tiddlywinks, including "potting out," where players must pot all their winks, and "squopping," where players can use their squidge to cover an opponent's wink, preventing them from playing it. Scoring systems can also vary depending on the specific rules being used. Despite its simple appearance, tiddlywinks requires a degree of skill, precision, and strategic thinking.
