November 1998
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.
