Homonym: Conkers (Chestnuts)
Conkers are the seeds of the horse chestnut tree, known scientifically as Aesculus hippocastanum. They are typically round, shiny, and brown, with a smooth surface. Conkers are commonly found in the fall when the tree's spiky green husks split open to reveal the seeds inside.
In many countries, especially in the United Kingdom, children play a traditional game using conkers. Players take turns swinging their conker on a string to hit their opponent's conker, aiming to break it. The game is often played in schoolyards and parks, making conkers a popular part of autumn activities.
