Conker Tags - WTF?!
Conker Tags are used as a scoring mechanic in conkers. Every conker starts with ONE tag.
Attach a coin to your string - alongside your conker - and when your opponent’s conker smashes you can pick up your spoils, and add it to your conker’s score / value.
Win more games, win more tags
As you (and your conker) win more games, you amass more coins. Beat a conker worth 8 tags (or an 'eight-er’ as it’s traditionally referred to) and you’ll win the scalp of 8 tags to add to your existing value.
For example if your conker was a two-er (with 2 coins), and you beat an ‘eighter-er’ you have have an ‘ten-er’ (with 10 tags in total).
We invented Conker Tags to ensure you’ve got skin in the game. Playing conkers isn’t just about smashing sh*t it’s about winning - and winning’s a lot sweeter when you actually win something.
Collect & keep
There are multiple different tag editions based around country flags. Some coins more rare than others - meaning you can collect different coins as you go.
Here’s a guide to the tag editions you can collect (along with how common / rare they are):
