conker

The game is recorded so you can tell which conker he did or did not use.

The striking conker is at the end of a taut string the entire time, but the receiving conker is hanging loosely and bounces around after being struck.

Reminds me of trying to cheat myself in 70's by making a lead conker (painted to be right color).

Second having been caught with a steel imitation conker in his pocket how can he be cleared?

In the video they mention it was painted and looked like a genuine conker.

Loser holds the conker out dangling vertically at the end of the string.

Apart from not varnishing the conker I don't think we had any rules at all.

So the person taking the hit can aim to hit with the shortest radius section of their conker on the flat spot of the other.

Wouldn't that newton's-second-law your own conker just as hard though?

There is no point in cheating at conker.

It appears that about 38% of visits to their site come from the UK, so it might be that the majority of their readers aren't familiar with conker.

I am finding it hard to fire up some reason for conker beyond "it's yet another British drinking game".

When a player's conker comes off the string but remains whole, the opponent can call "stamps!!" and attempt to stamp it to pieces.

A conker that survived to the next year was considered "seasoned", although many's the wizened tippex-covered lump of questionable provenance appeared under this explanation.

Back in the school playground we used to squabble over who is "it" or had the biggest conker or something equally pointless.

Xbox 1 also had very strong line up in the last two years (Halo 2, NGB, Burnout, Conker).

Unfortunately Conker's Bad Fur Day is unplayable on sixtyforce.
