Tiddlywinks

Imagine a game played on a soft mat, like a fuzzy carpet! You have small, colorful discs called 'winks' and a little cup called a 'pot'. Your mission is to use a bigger disc, called a 'squidger', to flick your winks and get them inside the pot. It's like playing mini-golf, but with tiny discs and a lot of flicking power!

Nobody knows exactly when Tiddlywinks started, but it became super popular a long, long time ago, even before your grandparents were born! It was a fun game for everyone, and people loved playing it at parties and gatherings. It's like a game that's been around forever, always ready for a good time.

To play Tiddlywinks, you put a wink on the mat. Then, you place your squidger on top of the wink, near its edge. With a quick flick of your wrist, you push the squidger over the wink's edge. WHOOSH! The wink flies into the air, and you hope it lands in the pot! It takes practice to get good at flicking just right.

Yes, you can! If your friend is trying to get their wink into the pot, you can use your squidger to flick one of your own winks on top of theirs. This is called 'squopping'! It stops their wink from moving and can be a very sneaky way to win. It makes the game exciting and a little bit tricky!
