Oddly enough, Pogo Germany and Pogo France got a release before the US/Canada and UK sites did.
If you really must play it, you can follow these steps (you can do this on the French site if you’re more familiar with that language, but we’re going to walk you through German):
First, you’ll want to log out of your usual Pogo account
Then visit the German registration page.
(You can use Google Translate if you need help.)
Once you’ve got your account, check the home page for Golf Solitaire and off you go.
(Having never played the game before, we weren’t sure if the game had frozen or if it just seemed like it. So we decided we’ll just wait for a version in a language we can easily grok.)

For those of you looking for “No Pile” Canasta games, you can now easily set up one via the options screen and you can now easily find one via an ice cube graphic in the table selection area.
For those of you who don’t want “No Pile” games, they should now be considerably easier to avoid.
Here is Pogo’s News Release on the “Frozen Pile” option.
We don’t have an in-house Canasta expert, so if you have any experiences with this new option, good or bad, drop us a line and let us know how it’s worked out so far.

As if we needed any more ways to spend our tokens and gems! Soon, Pogo will have a Pet Shop in the mini mall. The categories will be as follows: Dogs, Cats, Reptiles & Fish, Small Animals, Pet Goodies, and Exotic Pets.

We told you we’d tell you when we had more news on the new re-name for Plate Spinner. It’ll be “Crazy Cakes”.

If you had a favorite room that you played in when Word Riot was originally on Pogo, the Editor wants you to let him know why you loved Word Riot and which room you’d like to see brought back. If you need a memory-jog, check out our list of old Word Riot Rooms from way back when. Oh, did we mention Word Riot Deluxe is “coming soon”? Yeah, that too.

This update is short and sweet: Pogo is very seriously considering creating (…wait for it…) PETS for our minis. Animal-lovers rejoice!

The rules for Word Riot Deluxe are available now. Explained in these rules are the differences between the three modes: Classic, Rally, and Expert.
A big difference between the modes is the type of clue that can be given. In Classic mode, clues can be any 8 letters that don’t reveal the secret word. In Rally, the clue must be a dictionary word that doesn’t reveal the secret word (and there’s an auto-spell window that helps players enter valid clues and guesses). In expert mode, there are a variety of clue formats, including phonetics, rhyming, antonyms, “bacon” (a clever way of wrapping your clue with the capitalized first and last letters of the secret word), chewy (relational hints), ABC’s and Anything Goes. The current game setting will be displayed at the beginning of every game to help avoid confusion.
In addition, there is not a single mention of players being able to kick or boot other players from the game. Let’s hope all of these clue types will help alleviate a lot of the problems of the former version of the game.

If you were interested in picking up the Calming Candles but couldn’t get them because they were sold out last week: they’re back, completely stocked, and free!
Also, the Winter Thaw background has returned from its disappearing act, and it’s back in the closets of its previous owners, but it isn’t available for purchase as we had hoped. Insert sad face here.
