Playing this game in general - Tiddly winks is fun for everyone. Grandpa and the 3 year old both enjoyed playing.
This specific version -It was very flimsy and poorly manufactured. You get a thin plastic scoring box to shoot the tiddly winks into. a Ziplock container is made of much more durable plastic. The plastic is easily crushed by young kids and the small discs and tiny felt pads just get lost. the felt was so small it was really just useless. For what you get this game should have cost less then a dollar. For this price it should have a specific container for small parts and a more durable scoring cup.
 You Can't Go Wrong With a ClassicDec 28, 2009
I grew up playing Tiddly Winks with my grandmother and had forgotten about it until my 4-year-old daughter and I saw it played again on an episode of "Franklin." The game is just as I remembered and still fun. It has taken a little while for my daughter to get the hang of it, but she has a good grasp of it now. The quality of the game is great, with the Winks being solid plastic pieces and the felt being of good quality. The only thing I can see breaking in the future is the scoring cup because its plastic is thinner, but that's not enough to deter me from recommending the game. It's a great game that's simple and fun.

Got a phone callMar 20, 2009
I bought tiddly winks for my 5 year old grandson. I have not been to visit so we haven't been able to play. But I got a phone call from him last week just to tell me it was a fun game. He doesn't call often. His Dad was playing with him and said [in back ground], it really was fun. His 2 year old sister watched till she figured it out, then she joined game. I good time was had by the three.

Tiddly Winks FunFeb 24, 2009
Even my two-year-old grandson caught on easily to this game. However, we find we could use a lot more of the round plastic circles, in order to keep the game going. My grandson does best with the larger circles, so it would be nice to have more of those, in addition to the smaller ones.

Just like the game I remember from my children. I just purchased it for my grandchildren and are very happy with my choice.
