Conkers est un jeu inventé en Grande Bretagne qui se pratique avec des marrons (spécifiquement les fruits du marronnier commun).
Depuis le début des années 1990, la commune d'Abjat-sur-Bandiat, en Dordogne, accueille chaque année à l'automne le championnat de France de conkers, jeu importé par un ressortissant britannique installé dans ce village[1].
