Heres some rules for you
Tiddlywinks is a partnership game for four colors of winks. In singles, each player has two colors. In pairs, each player has one color.
The colors are Blue, Green, Red and Yellow. Each color has four small winks and two large winks.
Blue always partners Red and Green always partners Yellow. At the start of the game, each color is placed at a corner of the mat so that Blue is opposite Red and Green is opposite Yellow. The colors must be arranged so that alphabetical order runs clockwise. This makes it easier to remember whose turn it is.
The pot is placed in the middle of the mat.
To play the winks you have a squidger, a counter from 1 inch to 2 inches in diameter.
To decide who starts, one wink of each color is played towards the pot. This is called the squidge-off. The color nearest the pot wins the start. All winks are then taken back to the corners and play begins. Play goes clockwise.
Say Green wins the start. Green begins the game, then Red plays, then Yellow, then Blue, then Green again, and so on.
You can play your winks in any order.
You have one shot per turn, with an extra shot for each wink of your own color that you pot. If a wink balances on the rim of the pot, it is counted as potted and is put in the pot.
If you send one (or more!) of your own winks off the mat, you lose your next shot. This means that if you are Blue and send a blue wink off the mat, you lose the next Blue shot. The wink is put back on the table where it went off, but must be 10cm from any other wink. If you send off a red wink (the partner color), or an opponent wink, nobody loses a shot.
