i have always loved stratego, because everyone that can’t stand Risk because it’s too long (not me I love Risk) would love Stratego. i mean who doesn’t love a good ‘ol game of capture the flag? More Hasbro games you say. Well DEFINITLEY Life and Candy Land :]

I agree, Uno and Skip-bo would be great for pogo, and Candyland would be awesome too, I used to play that game for HOURS on end. Pogo could update the heck out of those games, the possibilities are endless…

Just the title, “Stratego,” already hurts my brain…the way Luna brought back Candyland memories, I was kinda hopin’ for THAT game instead! Of course, I had the “vintage” version….no Queen Frostine or anyone like that. You can see why Stratego might be a challenge for me – but hey – I’m always up for a challenge…it better pay big tokens though (LOL)

First off let me say i LOVE pogo. The problem I am having is they need more original games. I’m might seem old fashion or outdated but I love the older games more than the newer ones. With that being said I would love to see the game Clue.

I have never played Stratego. I wish they would increase ranks in Spades, Pinochle , roller dice derby… and oh Hog Heaven..

@Serena
But the people are not listing “Old” games, most are listing ones that are only a few years at the most old.
I think newer games bring a bright side to Pogo (If they are Hasbro and they are good; example: Battleship)
I think games like Clue, Life, Uno.. will bring more life to players on Pogo especially if any of the ones i listed are free players, it might attract people to join club for the badges/ranks.
I also believe that even if you upgraded Greenback Bayou, or Dice Derby even with badges they would still keep people away that hate the games.. unless your a true badge hound (lol.. me), but how many will really sit through 50 ranks of greenback bayou? LOL
And i want to add I’m hoping they add Clue, as the Clue this site is thinking is wrong.. pogo said a Clue-hiding Object game, similar to Pictureka… not CLUE. (Saw that in your coming soon LOL)

Stratego sounds like another dud to me. I didn’t care for it much when I was a kid.

The problem for me with most of these Hasbro/Pogo releases is that they haven’t translated well to the computer (just my opinion). I’d rather physically hold the Yahtzee cup in my hand to shake the dice, or stick the little peg in the board in Battleship (instead of clicking things with my mouse).
AND..
I can’t throw the Monopoly board at my sister because she steals from the bank or annoy my mom by excessively pushing the Trouble button LOL!

@Frank
But with fun graphics, life would be worth playing 1 game in an hour LOL.
I sat and played the Disk Life game for 2 hours for 1 game of it, just because it had fun graphics!

Personally i myself think UNO or skipbo would possibly do a little better on the pogo site…. but then again I have known to be wrong…….

I’d enjoy seeing the game of Life as a pogo game. Your uncle left you a skunk farm! Pogo would be able to adapt that as a Monopoly-style board game. Granted, Life would probably take an hour to play, so that would be a drawback since most games take less than 15 minutes to play.
