ABSTRACT:
A a game frame for playing the game POGs (tm). The game frame has a uniform, consistent playing surface for the play of the game, as well as separate peripheral storage space for playing pieces or discs for each of the players. The game frame also provides for the removable installation of interchangeable mats or pads in the center thereof, to provide surfaces of different resilience as desired. The game frame is used by stacking a plurality of the playing pieces or discs in the center thereof, and using a "slammer" playing pieces or disc (also called a "kini" or "hitter") to hit the stack and attempt to cause at least some of the stacked playing pieces or discs to be flipped over. Playing piece which are flipped over are kept by the player, with the player acquiring the greatest number of playing pieces (or those having the greatest value, in some variations) being the winner. As the game is to a certain extent dependent upon the surface upon which it is played, the present game board provides for consistency in the play of the game to eliminate variations in the playing surface which could lead to inconsistent scoring.
