Rules may vary among players, but the game variants generally have common gameplay features. Each player has his/her own collection of pogs and one or more slammers. Before the game, players decide whether to play "for keeps", or not. "For keeps" implies that the players keep the POGs that they win during the game and forfeit those that have been won by other players. The game can then begin as follows:
1.The players each contribute an equal number of pogs to build a stack with the pieces face-down, which will be used during the game.[4]
2.The players take 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.[4][7]
3.After each throw, the pogs which have landed face-down are then re-stacked for the next player.
4.When no pogs remain in the stack, the player with the most pogs is the winner.[4]

here is a picture of slammers. I'm pretty sure they were made of metal, which is what gave them the ability to flip the pogs over:

Playing King of the Hill and tackle football at school
Getting 'the paddle' at school, btw, they still do it where my wife works in Mississippi. Just that parents have to sign to allow it. She says the worse kids are those that aren't allowed to be whipped.

Those balsa wood planes were awesome. I found some for my son and he loves it. We also built tree houses - had a grand one at one time until my uncle tore it down.

Speaking of comics, I have another mystery: Back in the 70's (early, I think) I found a comic left behind in a house that we had just moved into. I recall it having a skeleton in the cockpit of a P-38. Seems that is was a ghost plane terrorizing/shooting down allied planes or something.

I updated my pog post with gameplay rules and pictures of the slammers.

Hell no. Back about 1976 or 77 it was freaking awesome.
