Let's Play Conkers!

Ready to be transported to Colin's childhood? Today on the podcast, we're playing a childhood favourite: Conkers! You can do this a certain nut in your own community!

How to Play

• • Equipment: Each player needs a single conker (Chestnut or Ohio Buckeye nut) threaded onto a 15-to-20-inch piece of string, shoelace, or leather thong, secured with a large knot at the bottom.
  • Stance: One player holds their conker still at arm’s length by letting it dangle from the string.
  • The Strike: The second player wraps their string around their knuckle or finger, aims carefully, and swings their conker to hit the opponent's nut.
  • Taking Turns: Players take turns striking each other's conker (typically five to seven turns each) until one of the conkers shatters or breaks off the string.
  • Scoring: When a player breaks an opponent's conker, their own conker absorbs the defeated nut's score (becoming a "two-er," then a "three-er," and so on).
