February 1999
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!
And now welcoming the VFW and other winkers at Schwai's Tavern in West Bend, Wisconsin and in nearby Sussex, Wisconsin! (see article in Newswink 29). They've been playing their own style of tiddlywinks for over 20 years. Sussex is hosting their annual tournament on 13-14 February 1999. Schwai's held theirs on 23-24 January 1999. Contact Rick Tucker if you would like to hear more about these events.
