Date: 1988
Publisher: Various
Designer: Joseph Assheton Fincher
Why It's Significant (in 25 words or less): Tiddlywinks is an almost universally recognized game, and one of the earliest parlor games to become a true fad.
More About Tiddlywinks: Originally called Tiddledy-Winks, this game was a huge fad among adults in the 1890s. Although often derided as a simple child's game, Tiddlywinks continues to have its share of serious adult players today. At its most basic, players compete to flick disks into a container.
