Editing Conkers (section)

===Play===
{{Unreferenced section|date=October 2024}}
The game is played between two people, each with a conker. They take turns hitting each other's conker using their own. One player lets the conker dangle on the full length of the string and the other player swings their conker to hit it.

A point is scored for a conker surviving a hit that causes the other one to break. The point is scored irrespective of whether the surviving conker was attacking or defending at the time.

The scoring of the game is considered to be a property of the conkers themselves. A new conker is a ''none-er'', meaning that it has not defeated any others yet and thus has no score. As a conker accumulates points, its designation changes to reflect the total: a ''none-er'' becomes a ''one-er'', then a ''two-er'', and so on. (In some areas of Scotland, conker victories are counted using the terms ''bully-one'', ''bully-two'', etc.  In some areas of the United States and Canada, conker victories are counted using the terms ''one-kinger'', ''two-kinger'', etc. In 1940s [[Brooklyn, New York]], a winning chestnut was referred to as a ''killer'' and the value of a chestnut was defined by its number of "kills".)

In some regions, the winning conker receives all the points accumulated by the losing one, in addition to gaining one more point for the defeat. For example, a ''two-er'' that defeats a ''three-er'' would become a ''six-er'' (2 + 3 + 1). Other regions only award one point to the winner, regardless of the loser's score.
