  Yeah, I’m American and have no idea what a conker is unless it’s having a bad fur day.

    It’s the name/game given to chestnuts where you put a hole through the chestnut and pass some string through and tie it off.

    The game is simple you try and break your opponents conker with yours. Taken turns.

    The defender holds the string steady with his conker straight down

    The attacker uses his conker to try and break the defenders using a sort of downwards flick.

      Horse chestnuts, not chestnuts, chestnuts are soft and you eat them on bonfire night, horse chestnuts are hard and you can crack skulls with them.
