Rules Transcript

DIRECTIONS FOR PLAYING THE GAME OF

BARNYARD TIDDLEDY WINKS

(TRADEMARK)

Remove from the box the Barnyard with surrounding fence and place upon a table. Place the animals upon their respectively marked spaces and place the felt about 12 inches from the Barnyard.

Now divide the colored winks, according to color, among the players, giving each player a large snapper-wink and the small winks of the same color.

Players in turn snap their four small winks at the Barnyard in an endeavor to knock over the animals. Each animal knocked over counts for a score whatever number is under it. The player first getting a score of 500 WINS THAT GAME.

After playing several times, players will find that they can attain a fair degree of accuracy in “snapping” the winks at the higher-scoring animals (which they will soon learn) and thus win the game more quickly.
