Starting July 16, Pogo UK is offering their first Playfest! This one is the Summer Sizzler. For those of you who don’t know what a Playfest is: “It’s a chance for you and your Pogo friends to play together in a UK side-wide event, all working to complete the same Playfest game goal. Each time you complete a Playfest goal in the featured game, you’ll be entered for a chance to win great prizes. Playfest goals are announced at the start of each event.” Although non-UK players will not be able to win prizes, we’ll probably be able to earn 5,000 tokens for completing a game goal.
The Playfest will be celebrating the Hasbro games coming to Pogo UK. There’s a note in the article about why non-US/Canada players won’t be able to play Scrabble, as well. “Specific to Scrabble, Hasbro holds the rights to Scrabble in the US and Canada only, so we will not be able to make the game available to players outside these countries.” However Monopoly, Yahtzee, and others will be available to the non-US/Canada Pogo players soon.
