Tiddlywinks is a Victorian parlour game involving flipping coloured counters into a container – it has more complex rules than you might imagine and a plethora of terminology. Winks are the counters, the disc used to flip them is called a squidger….and that’s just for starters. Games last 20 minutes with the winner being the player who scores most during the time limit ; during the tournament points are cumulative and the overall champion receives a trophy. It’s organised by the English Tiddlywinks Association, who also arrange other tournaments through the year (see website link for details).
Helpful Hints
It’s a real competition so you need to be available all weekend and have a working grasp of the rules.
In 2023 the pairs tournament was held on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th October- 2024 dates are yet to be announced.

Hi my winking brethren,
I am based in Perth, Western Australia but i have exhibited my skills with a cheeky wink both nationally and across Asia. I believe it is now time i broadened my horizons and and took my talents to Europe and challenge the best you have to offer.
Are you up for it, well are you? If so bring it on!!!
Let me know the dates for the 2024 comp and i will clear my diary, and book the early bird flights.
Yours truly,
Drowley the kinky wink
Hi Drowley,
You definitely need to get in touch with ETWA who organise the competitions- here at calendarcustoms.com we just report when it’s due to happen, we don’t have any connection to the running of the event. Follow the link to their own site at https://etwa.org
Best of luck!
