      The ONLY way to play it! That is in fact the very reason Pogs ended up dieing out. Sad :( I encourage everyone to bring pogs back though in this new more tolerable world! Get your kids about 3k pogs and encourage him to pass them out to all the kids at school with a slammer for each kid and PLAY FOR KEEPS!

    The official set of rules we had in the 90s was different for slammers than what you mentioned. We.had to balance the slammer on our index & middle finger while upside down. Then carefully flip your hand over and slam it on the pogs.
    Almost all of the thicker plastic slammers back in the 90s had molded grooves for those fingers. Some of the thinner ones did as, but made them a bit harder to balance.
    I didn't have the "Official" pogs playmat, but I had a larger 8ball plastic one. Which I actually still have my entire collection from the 90s.

  • @lindsaysheffield

    What made it fun was the size of the slammer and how rare are your pogs. Which wasn’t disclosed when you challenged someone.
    Some slammers are heavy, some lighter but when you battle you don’t know the size the other guys slammer is. Or how rare his stack is, so when you slam it (face side down) and a rare one flips up you get excited and he gets mad! So it’s a surprise game... plus
    You guys were “side slammin” the whole time. Which is a power move lowkey. Usually you would hit the stack flat.

      my teachers stole my pogs too and so did the school bullies both by using brute force :( when I played pogs during recess, but I was always so happy when I got to keep pogs due to winning them with my masterful throws in elementary school. I got in trouble for playing a "boy game" since I was a girl. I loved the bright colors and designs...it was just hard to keep them because people would beat you up and rob you of your pogs so they could play for keeps if you won any even if you were a girl...so it was dangerous but addicting... most girls avoided it. after getting beaten up a lot, I also avoided it...maybe now that I'm an adult I can enjoy it.

    We never used the slammer growing up in Hawai’i. Used pog to flip the other pogs, winner takes all. Used to scoop the whole stack and vice versa.

    Im questioning the rules your going by. I played this game when it started and actually played ina few tournaments, where the grand prize was a golden slammer. Sadly, I did not win, but I have never herd that you have to hold the slammer like that, and furthermore, I think the stack had a limit of like 10 at most, and you would lay five or less (loose recollection) of your pick for each player, that way you knew what you were gambling to lose. IT made it so you could "trade" your pogs by playing the game.

    • @ManicMechanic82
      @ManicMechanic82 4 года назад

      That's what I remember too! We always threw our round, flat Slammers with our thumb and pointer fingers. The larger oblong shaped Slammers we just dropped straight down. Those are the really heavy ones!

    • @five12man
      @five12man 4 года назад

      Yes, I recall "rounds" with 5 or so from each player at a time, but of course, there are regional and house rules. Let's not fight, let's write it down and play for keeps 😎

    @jameswalker590 2 года назад

    Just found some of mine. We didn't throw the slammer like that, but maybe we didn't know the rules. We used our thumb and index finger and slammed it down horizontally like a pancake IIRC -- it's been a while!
