Pogs

NEW YORK, NY - JUNE 1: Product shot of "pogs "photographed June 1, 1995 in New York City. During pogs gameplay, each player has his or her own collection of pogs and one or more slammers. The players each contribute an equal number of pogs to build a stack with the pieces face-down, taking turns throwing their slammer down onto the top of the stack causing it to spring up and the pogs to scatter. Each player keeps any pogs that land face-up after they're thrown. After each throw the pogs which have landed face-down are then re-stacked for the next player. When no pogs remain in the stack, the player with the most pogs is the winner. Before the game, players decide whether to play "for keeps", keeping the pogs they win during the game and forfeiting those won by other players, or not. (Photo by Yvonne Hemsey/Getty Images)
