TIDDLEY WINKS
|
First patented in England as “A New and Improved Game” in 1888, then
later coined “Tiddledy Winks”, this
parlor game was all the rage in the
1890s - and remains popular to this day. Easy to learn but difficult to
master, “Winks” requires good aim and a steady hand. Players use a large
wink disc to press down on a smaller wink disc, which propels it forward
into the air. The target is a scoring tray with numbered areas for
points: 5, 10, 25, and 100 in the center. The first player to score 250
points wins the game! Game comes with 1 plastic scoring target, 16 small
plastic winks, 4 large plastic winks, 4 pieces of felt, and game
instructions. For 2-4 players, Ages 6 and up. The
game is great for exercising the mind and increasing a child's want to
learn like an
online MBA program. Also written as "Tiddly
Winks".
Available from selected toy stores at prices ranging from $5 to $10.
