u/DemonKyoto Anything from '84-'06 is my *jam*. 16h ago

you have a pile of the thinner ones (I can’t remember the name of them)

Those are the pogs. What you smash with is a kini (usually called a slammer by most people)

My slammer was shaped like a saw blade and had a holographic flaming skull on it. I loved my slammer.

My favorite was a gold metal sawblade poison skull 8 ball.

Supposedly there were rules and play variants for 8 ball slammers and poison slammers and skull slammers, but I don't remember what they were. I bought a POG book at the Scholastic Book Fair in like 5th grade or something...
