Tiddlywinks was invented by British soldier Joseph Assheton Fincher in 1888 while he was at the University of Cambridge. The game gained popularity and was further developed into a formalized set of rules in the early 20th century. It combines elements of skill and strategy as players aim to flip their "winks" into a central pot.
Tiddlywinks starts with a squidge off.
