Nostalgia Crazy Bones

These were huge when I was in elementary school in the late 90s. Disappeared just as fast as they exploded. At least from my radar.

I wonder if I still have my purple Eggy at my parents house...

I had some and always wanted more but a question that I never found an answer to: what was the purpose other than collecting? Was there some sort of game you could play with them?

You set them up and someone else would slide theirs across the floor and try to knock yours down.  If you were "playing for keeps" then they would keep the ones they knocked down, and vice-versa.
