Welcome to conkers.nl
what is the site?
conkers is an irish / uk childrens game where you smack two horse chestnuts against eachother using a string which has been inserted through a hole in either chesnut. whichever conker is destroyed first loses
a conker in the act of losing its life in sarphatipark (rip 2024-2024)
its lots of fun
right now im cycling around amsterdam looking for chestnut trees and marking them on the map below (map will be updated manually)
right now the map is just the ones near my home but i will get to every chestnut tree on the ams tree map
my hope is that in october i will be able to organize a meetup to play conkers together
if you would like to contact me to contribute chestnut trees that have horse chestnuts on them (go explore your local area and take some photos!), you can send me an email at andy@conkers.nl, or for any other reason really, i am quite friendly. also if you would like to sign up to a meetup you can also email me there
