The new premium album we told you about that features Tex and Ally Carter on all of the badges will be called Game Journeys.
According to a recent UK Letters to the Editor, this will be out in early June: “we are also working on a new Premium Badge album, which you’ll be able to get your hands on early in June. I appreciate that’s not ‘now, now, now’ but we’re sure you’ll find it worth the wait!”
We’ve just been shown some nice badges that have been created for a future Mix-n-Match release. There are fifteen large, non-animated badges (so these may be spread across two months’ worth of M-n-M’s) for Word Whomp (or maybe WW Whackdown), Thousand Island Solitaire, Texas Hold ‘em Poker, Team Bingo, Squelchies, Pogo Bowl, Pinochle, Payday Freecell (possibly), Mahjong Safari, Lottso, KenoPop!, Jungle Gin, Hog Heaven Slots, Hearts, and Checkers.
Pogo has created badges for a new Premium Album that will feature everyone’s favorite adventurers, Tex and Ally Carter. Right now there are 12 animated badges (and not one seems to be an obvious ‘completed’ badge) depicting the characters on various adventures around the world. More details as we get them.
We’ve seen some badges that are for the upcoming game Team Bingo. They have a nature/seasons theme and some feature very prominently an acorn. It looks to be six badges in total, but as we don’t have a lot of information, nothing is certain.
We’re taking a quick time out from the Word Riot frenzy that this week has become to tell you that a new game called Team Bingo is slated for development. We’ll keep you updated as we receive more information, as always!
Update: According to this page, Word Riot Deluxe will be available on Monday, April 28th. At that time you will be able to download and play the free demo (and enter into a sweepstakes for $400).
Any appearance of Word Riot Deluxe pages on Pogo’s public site was a total goof. Apparently, the game wasn’t due out until next Tuesday Monday*.
Pogo is still testing it in small groups (there was a group of 14 testing Classic mode games earlier today and a slightly smaller group playing in Rally mode). This explains why you cannot download the game from the Pogo site yet. Until further notice, it’s pretty safe to assume Word Riot will be released next Tuesday (4/29) Monday (4/28)*.
Whatever you do, DO NOT try to purchase the game yet — never mind the fact that you should always try before you buy, Oberon Media isn’t ready to distribute your license key(s) (although they’ll be happy to charge you numerous times for the transaction). Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

Electronic Arts has revealed some information about the electronic versions of Monopoly (working title) that will be released in conjunction with the Monopoly: Here and Now World Edition board game launch this fall. The electronic versions, including the one that will be featured on Pogo.com, will have:
* four-player gameplay with a “party twist”
* accelerated pace
* mini-games (like breaking out of a jail cell!)
* new game boards
* instantly recognizable cities and landmarks from around the world
If you need the full scoop, here’s the press release.
Get out your American flags (and your 22 gems)! It looks like Pogo will be releasing a Limited Edition mix-n-match badge in honor of Independence Day. More details about the game and challenge for this badge are coming soon.
For the same reason we could show you the badges for Crazy Cakes and Ali Baba Slots, we’re able to give you a sneak peek at the six badges for Word Riot Deluxe.
