Illegal moves rules in other games

from An Introduction to Tiddlywinks

As the game develops, with several squops around the pot, you may want to play a winks of yours which is on one or more other winks. For such a shot to be legal, (a) your squidger must first play the upper surface of your unsquopped wink (that includes the top half of the edge); (b) only winks which are vertically below the wink you first touch can subsequently be hit by the squidger, and (c) the shot must be short and continuous from start to finish. This last clause means that, though you can rest your squidger on a pile at the start of a shot, you are committed to a short and continuous action once any wink starts to move irreversibly; so don't rest your squidger on an unstable pile. You must not squeeze a wink out from below a wink you want to play, and then play it. Do not worry too much about the technicalities here; common sense and experience help. Defining a legal shot is usually trickier than playing one. If you play an illegal shot, your opponents can either accept the result or replace the winks and ask you to play again (you do not have to try the same shot again if you don't want to).
