WTF? Is this english you're speaking? Back in the day (like 12 years ago, maybe more) you just stacked them up and banged on them. What is a poison pog? Can you elaborate on some of these rules? I don't play anymore, I'm just wondering how the game has evolved

"no backouts"
you're not allowed to take whats in play until everything is won/lost


"no poison pogs"
poison pogs are placed next to the stack in play. If you miss the deck with your slammer, your slammer is put in the stack as play. Posion pogs usually had the word "poison" or a picture of a skull/wierd looking fruit.

"official slamming kini's only"
cant use homemade slammers


"no elephant style"
a certain style u use to throw ur slammer


"no tittly-winks"
tittly-winks is when u tap the last pog in play to flip it over, instead of throwing a slammer at it

"no hawaiian style"
a certain style u use to throw ur slammer

"no side swipes"
a certain style u use to throw ur slammer. Most conterversial. When a stack is built, side swipers will try and hit the stack at an angle (not the usual face on) so it will tip over the deck like a domino effect

Hehehe, pogs. What an odd game. I traded some Magic stuff to get my first ones. Then I bought this huge 1lb. slammer. It was a solid piece of cylinder metal. People didn't like playing with me cause it would dent the crap out of their pogs.
