I loved Pogs for some ungodly known reason.

Pogs are cardboard discs that you play in the game, here are the game rules for a refreshment.

Rules
The game can be played by two or more players. Each has their own collection of pogs and a slammer (a heavier game piece).
Before the game, players decide whether to play 'for keeps', or not. 'For keeps' implies that the players keep the POGs that they win, and forfeit those that have been won by other players.
The players each contribute an equal number of POGs to build a stack with the pieces facing down, which will be used during the game.
The players take turns throwing their slammer (also called a 'kini') 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 their throw.
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'.
All players keep the POGs which they have collected (if playing for keeps), or redistribute them to their original owners.

I guess I can understand why someone would want a slap bracelet.
But, what was the purpose of pogs ?
