Just now we are all charmed with an enlarged and improved 'Tiddledy Winks,' introduced to us from Oxford by a certain 'don,' who says grave and reverend seigneurs delight in thus excercising their skill when unobserved by undergrads or scouts") | digital copy (NATwA) |

They not only appeal to both boys and girls, but are in some cases intellectual, and necessitate the powers of the mind being exercised to play them. 'Jolly Marbles,' a new example of this class, will be found diverting. Marbles, after being tossed about by clowns from hars on their heads, fall into holes, which are numbered. The player who succeeds in gaining the highest number is winner in the game. There is also a variation of the popular game 'Tiddley Winks.' The counter must be thrown into the hat of a clown—of whom thre are half-a-dozen. Our familiar friend 'M'Ginty' is to the fore again, this time with a ladder, on which he performs his antics. The 'Harmless Postol' is still as harmless and as popular as ever.") | digital copy (NATwA) |

'Attack and Defence' is an ingenuous variations [sic] of 'Tiddley Winks,' and 'Nurky Turky' is a kind of combination of croquet and billiards for the table. 'Bluffing' is the title of a card game which will probably become popular. All the apparatus for the various games are well made, and any one of the series is sure to delight those into whose play hours it is introduced.") |

Just now we are all charmed with an enlarged and improved 'Tiddledy Winks,' introduced to us from Oxford by a certain 'don,' who says grave and reverend seigneurs delight in thus excercising their skill when unobserved by undergrads or scouts") | digital copy (NATwA) |
