Tiddlywinks

My dictionary says that it is "un juego de pulgas". Do flea play? I don't understand.

Thanks.

I'm not sure about fleas. Maybe that's another BrE thing. Tiddlywinks is a game that you play with plastic discs, you try to flip the disc from the surface of the table into a cup of sorts....

¿Lo de la pulga o lo de tiddlywinks? Tiddlywinks is played by children in the States, though not as often with the electronic game invasion.

Ambos, pero sobre todo "La Pulga", porque no sabía que existía.

Es una lástima que ése sea el destino de la mayoría de los juegos tradicionales.
