About the game
Pogs were originally a game played with milk caps which originated in Hawaii. The term Pog comes from POG brand juice. Each player begins with their collection of Pogs (milk caps) and at least one slammer (a heavier playing piece). Players add an equal number (often just one) of Pogs to a face down stack and take turns attempted to overturn the Pogs by throwing their slammer at it. Pogs which are turned face up are collected by the thrower. The game continues in this manner until players run out of Pogs to add to the stack or until they voluntarily quit.

Questions and answers
The listed playing time for Pogs is 1–5 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
Pogs has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Pogs belongs to these categories: Action / Dexterity and Collectible Components. Its main mechanics are Set Collection.
