Pogs (1990s): The Schoolyard Craze That Defined a Generation

Pogs became a massive phenomenon during the early 1990s, turning simple cardboard discs into one of the biggest playground crazes of the decade.

Players stacked the discs and used a heavier “slammer” to flip them over. The flipped Pogs were won by the player depending on the rules.

Their huge success came from both gameplay and collectibility, with countless licensed series based on franchises like Pokémon and Star Wars.

Today, Pogs remain a nostalgic symbol of 1990s pop culture.
