«TIDDLY WINKS»

Tiddly Winks is an exciting game for singles or pairs, in which the players try to snap little colored disks into a cup by pressing their edges with large disks. The slang word "TIDDLY" means drink. It is usually regarded as a game for children, but since World War II, it has gained a status in the universities of Britain. In 1955 Cambridge University played Tiddly Winks against Oxford and in 1960 the [sic original=Guinness correct=Guinness] Trophy was established for an international Tiddly Wink championship between England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.
