Me too. Used to call the game "kinger's". When you beat an opponent, you got to put another chestnut on your string.

 

All I keep thinking about is there must have been a bunch of boys hitting each other in the nuts with those things.

Interesting history of Conkers!!  https://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/Conkers/

 


We had the “stampsy” rule where if your opponent’s conker fell on the floor you could stamp on it for the win. Encouraged a tight grip of the shoe lace but was a brutal way to lose. Stampsy had to be agreed on by both gladiators before the start of the match.

 

There was hell on if stampsy was used when not agreed on and tended to lead to various Chinese burns and wedgies. 
 

Decades on I’m safe to say I was one for dipping my conker in vinegar.
