Tiddlywinks is a
game of skill, strategy, and luck played with verve and fervor by winkers world-wide (predominantly in the USA and England and Scotland). The hot-beds of
winking have been at universities such as Cambridge,
Oxford, St.
Andrews, and York University in
the UK, and MIT, Cornell, and Harvard in the
USA.
