The Game
Tiddlywinks is a game played with sets of small, thin discs (called winks) lying on a surface, usually a felt mat. Players use a larger disc (called a squidger) to pop a smaller disc into flight by pressing down on one side of the smaller disc. The basic goal of an informal game (easily playable by young children) is to cause the smaller discs to land inside a pot or cup. The formal game has a more robust set of rules, goals, and strategies suitable to serious competition for adults and older children. A core element of the tournament game is the squop, where one wink covers another wink, thereby immobilizing it.
