Divide & Conker

As a child I always looked forward to autumn, when conkers started falling from the trees. I would often walk about looking down at the ground to find the shiny treasures. But with this, I also learnt the game of Conker Wars. A game whereby players drilled holes through their collected conkers and thread a string through them. Players would then commence in battle, taking turns swinging their conker at the opponents with the aim of smashing it to pieces. A fun and crazy game, which schools started to deem as too dangerous to play in the playgrounds. A couple of years ago, whilst playing another game, the word conquer came up and click! Oh, what if I made a game about Conker Wars, only one that is safe for school but could also be enjoyed by board gamers. Divide & Conker, the card drafting, conker battling game took shape.
