Tight moments in a parlour game (11)

I believe the answer is:

tiddlywinks

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'parlour game' is the definition.
'tiddlywinks' can be an answer for 'game' (tiddlywinks is a kind of game). I'm not certain of the 'parlour' bit.

'tight moments' is the wordplay.
'tight' becomes 'tiddly' (synonyms).
'moments' becomes 'winks'.
'tiddly'+'winks'='TIDDLYWINKS'

'in a' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tiddlywinks that I've seen before include "Game of flicking disks" , "Game of flipping counters" , "Counter-flipping game" , "Children's game" , "Game of flicking counters" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
