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 Cambridge, Oxford, St. Andrews, and York University in the UK, and MIT, Cornell, Ithaca High School, and Harvard in the USA. And now also in Brazil!
