Happy Weekend Everyone!
It’s been a pretty exciting week again, with the release of Slingo and the Android app, and a few other goodies as well. If you have a moment, check out the New at Pogo links on the right sidebar for all of the latest and greatest.
This weekend let’s keep it simple (although I’m sure I’m not alone in the complicated chore that is having to choose only one game to answer this question):
What is your favorite Pogo game, and why?
Weekend open threads are open every Friday afternoon through Sunday evening. You’re free to discuss anything Pogo-related, the discussion topics provided are just a guideline. It’s a perfect place to ask for help with badges, offer help, or chat about the Pogo topics that are important to you.
See you in the comments!

I would have to say Jungle Gin as I love card games. Here is wishing everyone a blessed week-end.
I don’t really have any true favorites. I do, however, have a list of games I HATE.
I’m already at rank 11 in Slingo.
Happy Weekend Everyone!
My favorite Pogo game is Lottso!. I enjoy the game because it’s not only luck, but is strategic and each game is different with a different strategy for scoring more points. I really like games where you’re playing against a room full of people, which is why I also really enjoy Dice City Roller, Pogo Bowl, Bingo, and others. I’ve done most of the Lottso weekly challenges 3 times now, this week I’m doing the one for 20 Jackpot Spins (have 13 so far) and then the only one I have left I think is the one for 600 balls placed. Then i’ll starting working on them for a fourth time probably.
i have so many lol!! mahjong safari, mahjong gardens, word jong, boggle bash, casino island blackjack, DCR, golf solitaire, perfect pair solitaire… maybe some more i cant think of lol. and not in that order. i just like that pogo has a variety of games and that’s why i have a variety of favorites.
sherry =-)
this is a tuff one for me–i like pogo addiction solitaire and i learned to like tri-peaks solitaire, even tho’ it took forever to finish.
on the subject of embedded games, if U hate looking at yur favorites list while yur playing the game, U can shrink the page to just the game applet by hitting the MIDDLE button at the top, next to the exit button. U mite need to tweek the edges a bit to get the FULL applet and U do this by running yur mouse over the edges until the ARROW appears–then shrink or enlarge as needed to get the FULL applet. then U dont hav to look at suggested games or anything else U dont want to see while yur playing–good luck and hav fun!
Lura, Love your mini. I think you have a good idea. Hubby’s turn. LOL
My favorite is Penguin Blocks. I enjoy the challenge of game
I don’t really have a #1 favorite, but the ones I most like to play are: Scrabble, Jungle Gin, Canasta, and Yahtzee.
Hope everyone has a fun & safe weekend! :-)
My favourite game is Addiction Solitaire. The hours seem to fly by when I’m playing it and the bonus for beating the tiki brothers is good too. It used to be Daily Hot Shots till it got cancelled.
favorite is payday free cell because it is challenging, because of the people i have met from there, and because every game Can be won and i am fairly good at it.
World Class Solitaire is my favorite. Was the very first game I ever ranked out in when I finally became a Club member. I don’t play it much anymore since I ranked out in it again and I’m working on badges that have piled up since working on re-ranking out, haha.
Casino Island Blackjack is my next favorite. I try to work on ranking out on that when I can, in between working on badges.
Lottso used to be my favorite game until Crazy Cakes came out! I think half the reason I love it so is because normally I’m not good at those types of games. I remember thinking after my first game of CC that I would never play past the beginner level but here I am rank 27 and almost to the point where I can move from the medium level to the hard level.
I do have to say that Wonderland Memories is a very close 2nd.
Lovetheavs420
would someone please give me the email address that could help me rrecieve my mix-and-match badge that I purchased and completed the challenge but I didnt recieve the badge..I am sure its just a glitch but this is my first badge that Pogo hasnt awarded me with after I won the challenge so I was not sure what adress to email to see if they would send it to me.. tysm i love this site and I have noticed that everyone is so helpful to others!!
Marilyn aka itsPookie7
I would say my favorite is Word Womp. I play it every morning to get the old “noodle” stimulated. I also like P vs Z’s. I’ve completed the Zombie Prey challenge 782 times. LOL I figure if I enjoy it, why not earn tokies along the way?? Hope everybody has a safe and wonderful weekend!! Love your mini Lura, I’m with you on that one!!!
#13 It’s Pookie….Go to help and then to live chat. They will award you the badge.
My favorite game is Mahjong Garden. I have ranked out of it and my dragon is over 1130 years old, take or few a years…lol. I love playing the game, and always play on hard level. I love, love, love the game.
My favorite game is Word Whomp. My favorite Pogo games are the word games, and I think WW is the best of them.
We’re going to have a wet, stormy weekend here, but we do need the water. Just hope Mother nature doesn’t tamper with electricity.
It would actually be easier for me to choose a game I hate playing than my favourite but if I had to pick only one it would have to be dice city roller.
Anything that isn’t embedded :)
For real it’s probably Aces Up or Penguin Blocks.
Happy Weekend All!
My new favorite is Slingo. LOL. But there’s so many others that I love. Card games mostly.
where do i find Slingo on pogo. My fav game is Pequin blocks
Keno Pop or Dice City Roller. I get VERY VERY VERY lucky in those games. I met a lot of new people on Club Pogo and I can’t stand my addiction LMAO. :).
If you want to meet a new friend, add me and we will be friends.
Have a good weekend everyone and be SAFE!
Majhong (both)—jigsaw puzzle–solitaire (world class)–they all arent to bad in there own way but these are the best
Hard to pick a favorite as I like so many of the Word and Card games. When I first joined Pogo, it was so I could play Scrabble and Boggle, plus a friend had told me about the Word Whomp games. I then discovered Tumble Bees, Word Craft, Crossword Cove, Trivial Pursuit, Jungle Gin, Thousand Island (I loved Mille Bourne as a kid) and well- I was totally hooked.
I didn’t know shiz from shynola on badges but got the addiction for badges about 4-5 months into my first year.
On a separate note, I was so delighted to hear today about the fancy schmantzy recipe book. It looks so handsome and well-crafted, with the tricked-out page turning routine and shadows in the center for the binder “hump.” I think I will make and eat some of those comfy Teriyaki Meatballs while I wait for Pogo to fix the Android badge.
I love a lot of games, but I do have one that tops all others. Aces Up.
I would have to say the reason why is the challenge and knowing that every hand can be won.
I’m a bit obsessed over it though, I won’t quit until I win the game so I often have to hit undo and rearrange the cards to get the win.
I am so happy to have the Android App now, I like the badges you have shown on BadgeHungry each week and am glad to be able to get them now. Or I should say, when Pogo engineer’s fix the delay.
Have a good weekend everyone!
Ed (#23) -
I must have missed something. What cookbook?
A blessed week-end to all. My favoriate game is Bridge. Pogo’s robots on this game will not bid their hands. I wish pogo would give their robots more Bridge smarts. It is just way too easy to win this game with the lack of smarts these robots have. I have ranked out in almost every game so it is really hard to pick a favoriate. Have a blessed weekend all BH fans.
Richard
But how can I choose just one? I guess, my top five would be World Class Solitaire, Golf Solitaire, Word Whomp, Crossword Cove and Mahjong Safari. But there are probably 20 or 30 other games I enjoy a lot.
Odd moments at pogo category–I was just doing the Vaults of Atlanta
daily…looking for tridents…then, an award window appeared..thinking I had won the daily and 1,000 tokens, I checked it…NO, It said I had won the (now infamous) Island Holiday badge plus 4,000 tokens….
Well, I had taken the easy route, tried it for a few days, then gone to “help”. My next thought is that pogo is in there tinkering to make the challenge easier and I hit upon a “glitch”. If it awarded, I could only guess is that it is spin three times in a row, w/o encountering a shark in your travels toward the bonus zone. Dont, know, but not giving my tokens back.
Jess #25: Lura tweeted about the cookbook today. Here is the link:
http://www.pogo.com/hotdeploy/us/promotions/marketing/cp-cookbook/landing-page.jsp?sourceid=fb_pogofanfeed_febcookbk
I can’t pick just 1 game, there are too many that I enjoy playing. Like the Capt (#2) it would be easier to make a list of the ones I don’t like :)
Made it to Seattle, was a beautiful 2200 mile drive. The only part I didn’t like was when we hit snow in Provo, Utah. Thankfully my friend was driving at the time b/c I do NOT do snow. I gave that up when I moved to Texas…..LOL
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!
Suz
i also like bingo luau! haha and sense we are on the topic i have a question if anyone could please help! im trying to find a blackout room u can pick if its regular or blackout but when i select it, it wont work, ive gone into many different rooms but they are never blackout rooms! helppppP!! haha
This is a FUN topic, Lura! Thanks for picking something positive yet again! :)
I like ALMOST all Pogo games with the exception of Greenback Bayou..
When I want to play a game to relax, I will usually pick Mahjong Gardens. I have a goal to age my dragon to 1000 years old this year LOL. I’ve ranked out a long time ago, of course. I always match the season tiles.. and the flower tiles when I can. That keeps it a bit challenging. I also try to finish every puzzle in the 3 minute range.
Another relacing game for me is Thousand Island Solitaire. I try to keep the ” 10 game winning streak” thing going when I am playing.. It’s my personal challenge.
Right now, I’m really enjoying getting the rank badges in Slingo. They are so cute with the cherubs. I am certain that regular version Slingo is the first online game I ever played, on AOL games back in the 90′s.
I especially love the word games but I’ll play almost anything for the fun of it except Greenback Bayou. I don’t thinik it’s fun at all, just stupid, LOL. I will play it only for a badge challenge.
Hope everyone has a great, happy and safe weekend. We are going to have more storms in N. Texas, I think. I took two of my girls for a walk down to the river bank this AM and the humidity was terrible. They were overheated long before I thought they would be.
Hugs,
Amanda
got it !! haha just read the forums
tysm Cher for the info I will certainly do that…
turbo21
I don’t care what anybody says GREENBACK BAYOU is my favorite game of all,it is cute,relaxing,pleasant and very enjoyable to me. I have been playing it for years and still hope Pogo changes their mind about creating ranks and badges for it. I also really enjoy Fortune Bingo, Hog Heaven Slots,Plants Vs Zombies and Pogo Bowl…. and i LOVE LOVE LOVE the new Slingo!!!!
Hmmm…which to choose.
I don’t think I have just one favorite. I’ve played every ranked game to at least the first rank badge at this point, so I have a pretty good grasp on which I enjoy and which I don’t. Most of them, I enjoy to some extent.
I was going to say that I like dice games and solitaire style card games most, but in choosing the list below, that was only partly true.
Let’s see if I can pick 5 favorites: 1000 Island Solitaire, Dice City Roller, Word Whomp, Stellar Sweeper, and Hog Heaven Slots (if I’m in the right mood for Slots, that is), but I could pick 5 or 10 more I like almost as much.
Favorite Pogo games…at the moment, I’m enjoying playing Slingo. But I find that I return to Mahjong Garden or Dice City Roller even though I ranked out on them a long time ago. Need more ranks in both with lots of badges for them!
Krista (#37), I have to admit that I have a certain fondness for Greenback Bayou because the first badge I won was one for that game. I wouldn’t mind badges and ranks for that game either.
My favorite game would be payday freecell I solve all the hands so takes me much longer to rank this game out again in no hurry with this one. Have a great weekend everyone
I always said to hubby if I was stuck on a desert island with only one pogo game to play it would be mahjong gardens. It is my relaxation and stress reliever. Just love the game. My dragon is still young so I have a long long way to go, plus it has so many options in diagrams and tiles. Love it
It’s a toss up between Lottso and Dice City Rollers. There are several more that are my “go to” games too.
My fav game is Mahjong Safari with Pogo Addiction Sol being a close second.
I’m like many peeps cant pick no one only “like to many kool”.
Have a Bless weekend everyone.
titus..
So hard to pick just one…
There’s a few games I can play non-stop for hours and never get bored, so let’s say top 3 are Mahjong Safari, Poppit, Dice City and Yahtzee Party. Now as to pick only one….let me see…. hmmm…. thinking…. hard to decide… hmmmm……
Dice City Roller…with Yahtzee Party in a close second.
Krista # 37 You are not alone, I love Greenback Bayou (but not my favorite lol), and I too find it cute and relaxing, I don’t think it’s dumb at all and I too wish Pogo would add ranks to this game.
This is an easy topic for me. My absolute favorite game is Jungle Gin. I’m not very good at card games, but once I learned Gin I was hooked on it. It’s just fun and relaxing to me. I have written Pogo about adding ranks to it, but nothing yet. I really hope they will soon. Sometimes Pogo seems to change things ( like the friends list ) they think needs changing versus listening to the people playing the games.
Have a great weekend everyone. It’s going to be a beautiful one here.
Lottso Express is my favorite, I have even finished all the badges on my daughters account. I am at rank 44 and close to finishing the two special badges. Slingo Richochet interrupted it, I am now at rank 15, but it was good timing as I needed to veg out. I don’t know if I will even finish either one of the weekly badges, think I will just stick with these two.
No auction Dice City Roller
When I joined pogo my home was Roulette Game Room Congress for a lot of reasons one was I was on line there through 911. The people I meet in that room have a special place in my heart and I am still friends with one.
Canasta is another game that brought special memories of a different group of people. One of them I have visited in person.
The last game that pogo no longer has was Daily Hot Shots, which bought me a new world of friends thanks to the connection to this site.
The players have a special place in my heart. There is a daily Hot Shot Column here if you need a pick me up, laugh, create you own hot shot with the theme of the day, plus you meet some wonderful people.
i too have quite a few but im totally addicted to clue,claire,adventure,ww,canasta,pool, and addiction.im not over keen on competative games u play with others.
Word Search Daily. It’ll never end. :)
Happy Weekend all, my fav game would be Mahjong Safari which i have ranked out and wish they would add more ranks(hint hint) and i also look forward to Clue when they come out. I have also been playing Slingo this week and reached rank 10 its also one of the first games i played on AOL way back when. Glad you had a safe trip to Seattle MomsBassetHound. My goal this weekend is to make it to 2000 badges im at 1987 at least i think i will make it by Monday with Sundays new M&M’s coming out. Hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend.
Only one to choose?!! *sniff*
Ok, mine would have to be Jungle Gin. Love card games in general and this one has great, active graphics. I also love the drum beats when I win a match. The little images for the ranks are cute (except the monkey ones, I no likey monkees!) plus you get full view of your mini.
Oh yeah…and I’m awesome at this game…and that really helps put it number one.
Mahojng Garden, Mahjong Safari and Sweet Tooth 2 are my top favorites because they are a quicker-paced game (for me, I challenge my self with the times) and I find them nice and relaxing as well.
I have found I am loving Poppit Sprint right now. I’d never played before this weeks challenge and now I love it! It reminds me a lot of an old mahjong sliders game I used to play except you never got more tiles in that one like you do with the balloons.
Any game I can play with my earphones in and not loose concentration on is good. I like most puzzle games, but it’s nice to have the variety to do other games at times too. Of course, there are many I stay far, far away from on pogo, like battleship!
Hi all,
Hope your weekend is an enjoyable one.
Above all others, Mahjong Gardens is my favorite game. Even after finishing the badges, there is always a reason to keep playing it. That is the dragon’s age keeps increasing as you reach the next birthday. Now I am at 3,512 ages old. It is fun answering the question, “How old is e1′s dragon?” This is a very relaxing game, so I spend lots of time when I need to sooth my nerves, or just for plain fun.

Ed # 24 You are the first player on Pogo that I’ve heard say they played Mille Bourne. Back in ’70 my 4 brothers and parents got hooked on it in CA. They had moved from our home state, MD, about that time. I didn’t learn about it until a visit 4 years when they introduced me to it too. As soon as I got home I bought my deck at the local drug store, and to this day we keep playing it. We’ve even played tournaments, contests, and tons of friendly games. Even my hubby loves it over Spades. LOL Many of our friends are now playing it now, and I have the original pack of cards I bought. In fact I bought a second deck just so I could save the original one. Thanks for sharing, and fell in love with Thousand Island as soon as it came out. Now hubby has to drag me away from it so he has someone to play with Mille Bourne.
Millie
I love Canasta or Clue. I can play both for hour after hour and never get bored. There are tons of games on here that I really like. That’s why I love Pogo. Really if you think about it – $3.34 a month – that is extremely cheap for all the things they have on here and really it does work pretty well. And, no, I don’t just spend that a month. I do buy gems but that is a personal choice. I love the HOG’s and am holding out on Adventures and Claire waiting for a huge sale. I have my fingers crossed. Since I can’t control myself with the darn Clue episodes. I just can’t. Thanks again gang. You are all like a support group for badge/pogo ho’s. Have a wonderful weekend all!
my favorite game is pinochle and you know why.it aggravates me that i can play game very well but cannot get the bidding right so it makes me play all the more.help!
My favourite game still is Lottso
Multi playing is a favourite of mine and the mixture of matching the balls and the scratching of the cards also is wonderful
Its hard to believe Lottso in 7 years old this month.
The only thing I would like to see with lottso is Pogo fixing the problem with the balls falling through in some rounds,and the constant bell ringing sometimes in rounds..Pogo have had a long time to fix those problems
Also I would love them to update the games cards to represent the new games since they last updated them in 2006
Lottso is a massive long game,and takes many many months to get to rank 100 like a game should be.but doesn’t bother me, I’m truly addicted to it!!
Hard to say, but i will pick Payday Frecell because there aint any luck, just skill and i love it.
And when i finally made Slingo to load i love that game too!
Wish all a good weekend
I play a few religiously everyday, like Trivial Pursuit, Crossword Cove and Word Search Daily. I guess Turbo 21 is my favorite as I can be in and out pretty quickly as I don’t normally have a ton of time to sit and play for any length of time. Turbo kind of “gets the juices going.” A close second would be Golf Solitaire. My personally weekly challenges are usually these two, with the 3,000 token payouts.
Favorite game? Like Lay’s Potato Chips… can’t pick just ONE! I like multi-player card games best of all (Euchre, Canasta, Spades, Jungle Gin, Hearts, Pinochle, Poker, Cribbage, etc. … ALL of them!) I do wish Pogo would provide ranks to Euchre, Hearts, and Cribbage and add ranks to Jungle Gin. I haven’t played Bridge on Pogo, but love all other card games. Not so fond of most solitaire games. I enjoy most word games, too. Auction-style DCR is a top contender, too. However, I’ve ranked out in that and don’t play it quite so often now.
Of course, Pogo Bowl is right close to the top because of all the friends I’ve made bowling and our regular bowling get-togethers. Not league/tourney play… just a bunch of friends getting together for a pleasant hour or so several times during the weekend.
I am sad that Pogo has ruined many of my top-choice games by embedding them. Most embedded games won’t load for me. If they do load, portions of the playing field are chopped off (right side and bottom). I do not feel I should have to constantly tinker with my monitor resolution in order to play games when my regular resolution works for all other web sites and for most Pogo games. I seriously dislike having so much extraneous and unwanted information crammed on a game page. No opinion on Slingo, since it’s one of those “won’t load” games. :<(
Have a lovely weekend, everyone.
i think if i had to pick only one.. it would be poppit.. the same game that led me to pogo many years ago as a freebie member. i used to play it before going to work in the mornings for a few years and then when they came out with the club pogo, all my friends i used to play with migrated over to club status so i got away from pogo all together and played at “ionthunder”. it wasnt until a couple of years ago that i found my way back to pogo when bigfish folded. sadly, with all the embedding of games and the lag in poppit when i play now, .. im once again scouting out other sites for my play time. but poppit will always hold top spot in my heart. its completely mindless and sometimes thats so refreshing. lol
hi happy weekend to everyone !
my favorite game (there are many) is Tripeak Soliatares and Payday
they sold on Club Pogo over eight years ago… both great games
and i love Pogo Bowl.. i bowl on a league biggyvengers and we bowl fun bowling games(the games we created ourselves) and great friends..
i voiced others membes pogo needs more club pogo exclusive games
maybe when the embedded games are finished. all we can suggest to them.
just curous, does any know the UK, France and Germany pogo will get the embedded game format ????
My favorite game is whatever one I decide to try to rank out in. Right now it is Boggle Bash
My Favorite game is Tri Peaks. I find it relaxing and it is one of the few games that you don’t have to worry about a timer. I am on rank 66 the first 30 ranks where the hardest since you had to win a 100 or more games each rank to advance.
I like a variety of the games but my most favorite is Jungle Gin and Pinochle. Another I enjoy is Mahjong Garden, primarily because the
badges are so pretty. :)

Hey all and greeting from the English South Coast. Its another home alone weekend for me whilst my partner is working in the USA. Lucky thing is off to the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina this weekend so if any locals see a very tall South African looking very lost give him some help!
I know its not a popular choice but my fav game is Risk. I usually play this once a week on line with my brother and it just takes me back to my childhood when we use to play the board game.
Hope you all have an amazing weekend
Jason
BTW
My favorite games have been Mahjong Gardens and Payday Freecell since the beginning of my club Pogo time. I ranked out twice in mahjong, didn’t mean to but had reset the stats before I realized what that was all about. I never reset stats in any game again. It was the first game that ranks were added to after I had reset the stats. If I had not reset the stats my dragon would be over 1500 years old by now or more. I did rank out in Payday Freecell at rank 50 but then Pogo added 20 ranks and that is going very slow because I don’t play it everyday and I have to win every game because it is possible and I really like the game.
Have a great weeken everyone.
Scrabble is my favorite game. I wish Pogo would add more ranks. After playing scrabble on Pogo I cannot play on a regular table board. One of the main reasons I like it so much I can play with my daughter 100 miles away. Thanks Pogo for a great game! Lou
I would say Clue. Only because I can rank in tokens very good in there. :)
I have so many favorite games that there would be too many to list. That said, if I had to pick one, it would be Clue. I’m over the embedded games. I don’t like them all that much but it is what it is. I do like Poppit Sprint and Slingo. :) Have a great weekend, everyone. If your in the path of the wicked storms (as I am), please be safe!
There are very few games that I dislike on Pogo. I go through stages as to what I play often but the ones I continue to return to are Boggle, Jungle Gin and Word Whomp.
I would first like to thank all of the Badge Hungry friends who sent me Birthday wishes on the 12th and made my day one of the best birthdays I have ever had. God Bless you all. Thank you Lura for giving us this wonderful place to belong to. It is the best and so are the people.
If HS were still here that would have to be my favorite.
I can’t name one game either. I do like scrabble and Canasta and play them a lot. I agree with others about the embedded games. If I can load them I don’t care for the way the screen is chopped off and I am not going to mess around with my computer settings anymore.
Enjoy your w/e ev1.

Hi Y’all
Lottso is my very favorite game….I just love being at the bottom and in the last few rounds shooting to the top because of the way I play…..It works for me and I really enjoy the game…..
I am such a silly that when playing Lottso three songs always come to mind….
1. I”m moving on up
2. Stuck in the middle with you
3. please help me I’m falling
And no I don’t sing them in the room only to my self….Y’all have a Blessed and happy weekend…..(((*_*)))
Word Whomp used to be my favorite, since they changed it to flash I only play it for a badge. Flash makes it seem like a chore. Mahjong Garden is a favorite, it’s one they have not messed with.
I like Dice City Roller and I sure wish Pogo would add some more ranks to it. Have a great weekend, everyone!
~ Cribbage ~
And not the 2 person game. I love the 4 player game and wish there were more people on Pogo that played it.
All 4-player game players know where to ‘hang out’ cause it’s the only 4-player room where there’s enough people to get a game going.
This is what brought me to Pogo and what will keep me to stay as long as they have that game.
Lovely weather here in the Midwest. I’ve been outside most the day.
Have a safe and wonderful weekend y’all ~
Bonny
Hi all and happy weekend!
I love tons of different games, but I really like Jungle Gin, TIS, and Safari. On a happy dance note: I am down to 25 old weekly challenges and I am done with all the older albums!!! So excited, but the task is still a little daunting. There are a lot of Euchre and Cribbage (which I loathe) badges and marathon challenges (like winning 50 domino games) to do. Good luck all!
~Jenna (purplyesterday6)
Anyone who wants a new friend add me.. :D
Hog Heaven Slots, easy to play while watching sports on tv, been through twice on third time and at( i think rank 63) now. Won’t start over again. Did that when I didnt’ know how to play many pogo games.
Have several 2nd choices but like others can list more that I don’t like to play but play to get my badge. Suz, my oldest dgt (yogimpm25) is visiting family in Seattle, enjoying it so far.
Happy Birthday all celebrating this week.
Vera ^v^ ^v^ ^v^
Tough topic. I have a “favorite” and then play it so much I begin to dislike it and stop playing it for periods of time. I like DCR, Jungle Gin, and Hog Heaven. . . the first game I ranked out in but rotate through a bunch of games.
I have learned to play most of the card games that I didn’t know how to do decently enough to get the weekly badges.
One game that I really really struggle with is Payday Free Cell. I know folks love it but I really struggle to win those. Then, all of a sudden, I win several games in a row with no idea how that happened.
Happy Weekend to everyone….
Cribbage – I can play this for hours on end…lol
Debi :-)
ss it’s yogimom25
Is it too late to get the free Clue Episode ? If not, would someone tell me the details please.
Also, is anyone else complaining about the sign in process on the US side. I have to do several other freebies or daily challenges especially if they are in hospital. It is a pain to have to type everything in each time. We did not have to do that before. Why is Pogo being so unfriendly to us old folks.
I guess my favorite game would be Word Whomp.
Thank you Lura for the hard work . Love Badge Hungry.
a few faves: DCR (no auction); lottso (but yet i really hate lottso express), and mono slots, mostly because i’m a slot machine addict and mono is the best. i also have developed friendships in the room i play in there, so i hang out there a LOT.
I am curious to know of those that have finished all the weekly badge albums—What do you do now? We get to pick two free weekly personals every week. With all your weeklys done and up to date, do you feel cheated for not getting two free of some badge every week? How many are out there that have every single badge of all types that pogo has to offer?
I would say my favorite game is Clue. But I do have some others that I really like such as Claire Hart, Mahjong Garden, Word Whomp and World Class Solitaire.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Jane #85 – The Clue coupon code is good for buy one Clue Episode get one free Clue Mix and Match badge, it’s not good for buy one episode get one free. There are currently 3 Clue Mix and Match badges available, however, if you already own all 3 of them then I’m afraid you can’t use the code.
Just put a Clue Episode in your cart, and put in a Clue Mix and Match badge, put the coupon code in the box, hit Apply, and once the page refreshes, hit Confirm. Then you’ll get your episode and your free mix and match. Hope this helps. :)
It says it expires 4/15, I’m assuming you have until midnight to get it?
Bowling is Number One with me, followed by Poppit then Mahjong Safari.
Starrynight TY TY but where do I find the code please. I am so dense when it comes to these things. Brain just does not work.
God bless
Like others I find it difficult to choose just one since I enjoy a lot of different games and when I am not playing one for badges or ranking purposes choose to play whatever tickles my fancy at the time.
Lyndia01 #87…I am one of those who has completed all the weekly books so I usually redo a weekly for whatever game I am working on ranks or another badge in to pick up those extra tokies to boost my total there. I don’t feel cheated, to me the purpose of the personal was to have the opportunity to get the previous weekly badges since I was not there from the beginning. It was more a relief when I was finally caught up because I no longer felt the need to have to use the personal, now if life gets in the way and I don’t have time to use a personal there is only a small regret of missing out on the extra tokens instead of a huge regret of missing that chance of using the personal to catch up on the previous years’ badges.
Have fun!
Happy Weekend everyone.
My absolute favourite game? Oo’h thats a hard one – Trivial Pursuit probably, and Dice City Roller, but so many would be up there too.
On a Pogo related topic – I have a problem with Pogo at the moment, and I wondered if anyone had any suggestions on what I should do. I am a UK citizen and play only on the UK site -and whilst playing on the 10th April on my home page popped up a suggestion of two albums that I might wish to purchase. They were Family Game Night and SCRABBLE. I was surprised to say the least, but thought maybe Pogo had sorted out the Scrabble issues for us Brits, so leapt at the chance and immediately bought the two albums offered, and the gems were immediately deducted from my account and the transaction was confirmed.
However, – the albums have not appeared in my collection.
I have since the 10th April, emailed three times with no response, so in desperation I went to the US site and used Live Chat and spoke to Vikas. He said ( after 45 mins on hold so to speak) that this was not a problem that he could deal with and that it had to be passed higher up the chain, and that I was to WAIT FOR AN EMAIL. And you can guess – I’m still waiting…….
So where do I go to from here????? Any suggestions?
hi all happy weekend!
favorite pogo game hmmm, well I like a lot sometimes it depends on my mood. but generally relaxing ones, non timed ones. I really like the new slingo even though it is pretty boring, spin click, so monotanous.
I have a few questions about badges to ask the first one is a jigsaw treasure one where I need to win two games within 30 minutes on hard. I am not sure if they really mean get two puzzles done on hard or on separate times. I hate the embedded for this reason. usually before when the game window was open can be in the badge section have the badge ready to activate before I out the last piece and get it. now I have to have a separate window open in the game and the badge section. I tryed to do it the same way wait till I have one or two pieces to do and activate it. it didn’t seem to work.the badge is called jigsaw puzzled if anyone has doen it and have any tips. also the second on is not a badge but one of the new games, connect four. I have read through the tips and I have played the game in real time before and generally know how to play but it seems real difficult to move up in rank I’ve played many games and just can’t seem to get a connect four its crazy! I just hope they don’t have any upcoming badges in there where you need to get a connect four win in anyway. I just hate that can’t play against someone so it is possible to help each other get a connect four.anyone got any tips on this game, thanks.
Lyndia #87 – I completed the last of my weekly badges in Feb 2007. I normally redo 2 each week in whatever game I’m ranking in. Or sometimes I just pick 1 that is fast if I have a lot going on that week.
I don’t feel cheated at all. I thought it was great when they increased the free personals from 1 to 2 per week. There are some new members that would have had to play for 10 years to get caught up. At least they have a chance of doing it now :)

Happy Sunday, Ev1 ‘n GL! :-D
OK, trying to be brief here, LOL!
First and foremost ~ Bowling, then:
DCR, TIS, TP, EWB and any spelling game, QWERTY, WordJong, etc.
I like bowling so much b/c that’s where I’ve made the most friends.
We all get together and bowl between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m.
Haven’t been there as of recent due to me sleeping in.
Also, can’t thank all the players with really good TIPS!
Have a great week all and GB! Carol C.
Jane – #91 The coupon code is CLUELOVE (exactly like that in all caps, one word). Just put it in the blank box on the checkout page when you’ve added the Clue Episode and the Clue Mix and Match badge to your ‘shopping cart’.
Make sure you hit the “Apply” button before the Confirm button with your transaction so the code will be applied to your purchase. The page will refresh, make sure the Mix and Match says “free” next to it, then hit Confirm and your purchase will complete. I’m assuming you have until midnight (probably Pacific time) to get it…you’ll have to try it and see if it works. Good luck! :)
Wow, there are just too many to name for fav. game! Maybe the fact I have ranked out in 30 games might be a clue as to how many I like. EWB, HH slots, DCR, KenoPop, Tri Peaks, World Class Sol. might be at the top of my list, though. PLEASE, pretty PLEASE Pogo, add ranks?
Lyndia #87. No, I don’t feel cheated. When I finally did the last one, I felt RELIEVED. Now I pick one to match each weekly challenge, or with a MNM or Prem. Album. It is fun to be working on 4 badges at the same time sometimes (weekly, pc, MNM, and prem. album). What is also great is that you get the same original tokens when you re-do a pc, so I try to find a 3000 or 2000 token pc each week to re-do.
Have a blessed Sunday.
Thank you Jen and Momsbassethound for replying to my inquiry of having all the weeklys done. I have a few more albums to go but got to thinking, what will I do when I have them all done in such a rush. Appreciate your taking time to respond. You’re great!
I have a lot of favorites, and cannot pick just one. But I would like to take this opportunity to say, playing pogo now since them made changes the games are not near as much fun as they were for several years after I joined. All the stupid changes pogo has made has made the games not near as much fun. Also, I love Word Whomp, but pogo does not take words put in by players, so it cheats them out of tokens. You get booted
so much or games freeze. I literally hate the embedded games. My sister who actually started me in Club Pogo in 2003(I used to play SLINGO all the time, and then I would go to free pogo), actually told me this morning that she hated pogo now. She does have cancer and cannot do much but hardly ever plays anymore due to what I’ve said. The games I love: jungle gin, mahjong garden & safari, canasta, hearts, spades, clues, Aces Up, Blackjack Carnival(used to could win some in there, now dealer beats u with 1 everytime.) This is just to name a few of the ones I love to play WITHOUT TROUBLE.
Hi All. One of my favorite Pogo Games is Crazy Cakes because I’m getting a little closer to ranking out, currently rank 48 with a long way to go. Also the ranks are real recipes that you can print out and try. :)

I long ago set it as my personal quest to redo the weekly badge albums. I have completed every weekly badge to date PLUS I have finished ALL of
2007, 2008, 2009 for the second time, and have just three left to do in 2010 to have done it twice. I will then start on 2011. It really gives importance to “Badge Day” for me!
Sweetlove #94, the easiest way to gain ranks in Connect 4 is to play using the Power Chips mode. You gain rank points for each Connect-4 you make and in Power Chips you can get several just in a 15 point game and even more if you play the higher point games and/or multiple rounds.
It also helps that when the bot gets a Connect-4 those chips disappear leaving more room for you to also make one.
As for this weekends topic, If I have to choose one I’d have to go with DCR (no auction). I love dice games in general and like that one the best. Other favorites are Trivial which was what got me rehooked on Pogo many years ago and Pogo Bowl because of the friends I’ve made there.
I hope everyone had a good & safe weekend,
-Tom
That’s it for another weekend open thread. Thanks for coming out, I’ll see you in the comments again soon! <3
