About: Tiddlywinks

An Entity of Type: activity, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Tiddlywinks is a game played on a flat felt mat with sets of small discs called "winks", a pot, which is the target, and a collection of squidgers, which are also discs. Players use a "squidger" (nowadays made of plastic) to shoot a wink into flight by flicking the squidger across the top of a wink and then over its edge, thereby propelling it into the air. The offensive objective of the game is to score points by sending your own winks into the pot. The defensive objective of the game is to prevent your opponents from potting their winks by "squopping" them: shooting your own winks to land on top of your opponents' winks. As part of strategic gameplay, players often attempt to squop their opponents' winks and develop, maintain and break up large piles of winks.

  • Floh, Flohspiel, Flohhüpfen oder Knopfknipsen ist ein Geschicklichkeitsspiel oder Kinderspiel für zwei bis sechs Personen. Der Name rührt daher, dass kleine runde Kunststoff- bzw. Holz-Chips durch die Luft geschnippt werden und dabei an hüpfende Flöhe erinnern. Entwickelt wurde das Kinderspiel ursprünglich Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts in England als „Tiddledy Winks“. Auf den Markt kam es 1887 durch den Verlag Parker Brothers. 1955 entstand die moderne Version an der Universität Cambridge: In England und Nordamerika (USA) werden Turniere für Einzel und Teams aus mehreren Paaren organisiert.

  • La pulga o pulga saltarina es un juego infantil que consiste en introducir unas fichas en un cubilete, haciéndolas saltar bajo la presión de otra ficha mayor. Para comenzar el juego se coloca un cubilete en el centro de la mesa en un punto equidistante a cada contrincante. Cada jugador contará con un grupo de fichas del mismo color y una ficha de diámetro superior. Todos intervendrán por turno intentando introducir sus fichas dentro del cubilete, presionándolas con la más grande. Ganará el primer participante que introduzca todas sus fichas. La pulga es un juego de habilidad que se basa en imprimir la fuerza justa para que la ficha se eleve, pero no la suficiente para rebasar el recipiente. (es)

As part of strategic gameplay, players often attempt to squop their opponents' winks and develop, maintain and break up large piles of winks. Tiddlywinks is sometimes considered a simple-minded, frivolous children's game, rather than a sophisticated strategic game. However, the modern competitive game of tiddlywinks made a strong comeback at the University of Cambridge in 1955. The modern game uses far more complex rules and a consistent set of high-grade equipment. (en)
