what are POGS?
POGS are the best!
If you weren't lucky enough to have grown up in the 90's then maybe you missed the bus on this one... good news is we are bringing them back!
To play POGS all you need are POGS and Slammers.
POGS are circular disc shaped cards with unique artwork printed on the top. You can use them to play with or trade and collect. Most POGS are the same size, with some occasional thicker prints for style. Slammers on the other hand come in many different weights and heights.
The game was played like this:
Usually played with 2 people but can be multiple.
- All players agree on how many POGS you want to bet and place them in the middle, with an equal number of POGS from each player. During this phase, this is where you negotiate with the other players to agree on what POGS each other should wager.ย
- Shuffle all the POGS together then stack them in a tower face-up.
- Choose who goes first, going first has a good advantage so it should be fairly traded off. Either by switching each time or allowing the person with the better POGS to go first.ย
- The first player then picks their desired slammer from their own collection. Slammer selection should be done based on the size of the stack. A thick Slammer might cause more damage, but a ligher one might be able to flip the whole stack cleanly, so choosing the Slammer is important. Some players even include the Slammer as potiential winnings for the person that get the most point in the end.
- Then they throw their Slammer down on top of the tower, trying to filp over the highest number of POGS.
- All POGS that get fillpped are collected by with player and then the next player gets their turn. This goes back and forth until all POGS are claimed.
- The person with the most POGS collected at the end of the round, wins the game.
- All player get the keep the POGS they won or you can do winner take all and the winner get to keep all the players POSG.
The best part of POGS is winning the coolest POGS off your friends!
