POGS???? It was all the range in the 90s, but apparently started back in the 20s and 30s when it was first played with actual bottle caps, instead of the cardboard pieces we always played with! The rules were simple:
1. Each player contributes an equal number of pogs to build a stack with the pieces facing down.
2. The players take turns throwing their "slammers" (heavy metal, rubber or plastic round pieces) down ontop of the stack making the pogs scatter. Each player gets to keep the pogs that turn face up during their turn.
3. After each round restack the pogs that were left face down from the previous round.
4. When all the pogs are turned over the one who has the most wins.
Oh the good ole days. I hope our son is as easily entertained as we were as children, heres to cheap toys made of cardboard and rubber providing hours of entertainment!!
OH MY GOSH! Pogs!!! Awesome. I only wish I knew where my old ones were.
