"Hm, I suppose football and cricket have their own threads (I think).

Okay, will change name of this thread. But any other sports can go in the general sports thread! I don't want no tiddlywinks threads started."

Just bored suppose............ :|

:D

I thought you were proposing an on-line version of the game.

Maybe with a touch screen....

Bloody cheek.

So basically you use a disc/counter to flick another disc/counter into a egg cup?

Can't we all play correspondence tiddlywinks like the chess players used to in the days before computers?

And that is about it. Kids game really but there are quite a few serious players/teams especially amongst the university fraternity.

You each have a set of small winks and flip them with a larger one into a cup. What the exact rules are amongst serious players are I have no idea, but I expect somebody on this site will know................

"You each have a set of small winks and flip them with a larger one into a cup."

winks are small plastic discs - you press on the edge of them with a slightly bigger plastic disc and it it makes the first plastic disc jump - so then the game is to make them jump into a cup or something
