Conkers is a traditional children's game played in Great Britain and Ireland using the seeds of horse chestnut trees; the name conker is used for the game itself as well as for the seed and the tree it comes from. It is played by two players, each with a conker threaded onto a piece of string, who take turns striking the other player's conker until one of the two breaks.
