Did you ever play conkers as a child?

It sounds & looks boring.

These kids suck at it...
We played it as kids.  Just something you did when standing around talking waiting for other kids to come around to get a better game going or walking down the street to school. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at March 26, 2017 5:37 PM MDT

Oh. Okay.  Thanks for explaining it in a way that makes it sound even more boring.  Bwahahaha

Yah,  it kinda was.

so is the game "Conkers" or is the English term for horse chestnut also "conker"? 

This reminds me of the wildly, if short lived toy, Clackers. Popular c. 1972.

LOL! I remember those.  They didn't last long I think because a lot of kids got hurt by them.

Still make those.  Got set for my nephew.

I thought they were a banned toy. 

I remember clackers. There was a lot of fuss about kids hurting their wrists with them.

Ha!  I 'member that game!  Can't remember how it was played though.

To determine who will go first, roll the dice. The player with the highest roll will go first. You must obtain a body first and then a head per the Cootie game rules. After the body and head are obtained, you may choose the remaining Cootie pieces in any order.

Cootie Game Rules: How do you Play Cootie?

Lol! That's something I'll never forget..."what's a cootie" ;)

I remember! That Limey Mod was gonna delete it because she thought it was an STD! What a laugh that was! This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at March 26, 2017 6:02 PM MDT

Wait, you almost got modded for cootie?  lmao

Yep! English woman didn't know what it was and was going to delete because we were teasing about it. We told her it was a game and gave her a link. Never heard another word! LOL. Bloody Yanks!

smh.

Yes. Today I found out AM practices censorship.   Anyway how could one grow up in the US and not know of "cooties", either the game or the disease?

This happened to me today.

I remember this game.
