Wild Bear Kids' Tiddlywinks Game with Scoring Target

This Wild Bear tiddlywinks game packs a classic table-top challenge into a neat square box. Inside, a printed target fills the base: a deep navy ring around a bright red one, with a red cup sunk into the centre and a friendly bear face in a hexagon badge near the edge. Each corner carries a special bonus circle worth 10, 20 or 30, and the rings themselves score 5 for red and 2 for blue, so every flick has something riding on it. The counters come in four bold colours, red, yellow, blue and green, and the whole box is 15.5cm square and 4.5cm deep.

With four colours of counter, it suits up to four players, each choosing a colour and flicking for the cup or the best-scoring ring. The rule is printed right on the board: your score is the colour ring that your counter is mostly inside, which keeps disputes short and the game moving. An instruction booklet is included as well, so everyone starts from the same rules. It is a natural fit for the kitchen table on a rainy afternoon or a relaxed evening in the living room, and the compact box slips onto a shelf or into a weekend bag without taking up much space.

The game is made from card and plastic, and the box doubles as the playing board, so there is nothing to set up: place it on a flat surface and start flicking. When play is over, the counters gather back into the box and it goes away tidily. For care, dust the board with a soft dry cloth and wipe the counters with a damp cloth when they need it. We think these kids' tiddlywinks make a cheerful present to wrap, and they are just as good kept in a drawer at home for the moments when a simple, screen-free game is exactly what everyone needs.
