HOW TO PLAY
1

Thread a string through a hole in each conker and knot it so the conker hangs securely at one end.

2

One player holds their conker still, dangling from the string, while the other wraps their own string around their hand and swings their conker to strike it.

3

Players alternate turns striking each other's conker, trying to crack or break it.

4

If the strings tangle, either player may call "strings" to get a free extra hit.

5

The game continues until one conker is destroyed; the surviving conker's player wins that match.
