We know we weren’t the only ones who noticed how (ahem) masculine Amber is! *laugh*
Kicking off their promised return to a bi-weekly release schedule, Pogo has added a bunch of new backgrounds and outfits for your mini today. They are kind of leisure-themed and include mostly static items that can be purchased with tokens. There are also a few items that can be purchased with gems, including a flaming wheel and a couple of new backgrounds. Check ‘em out!
Don’t forget to visit our page of free tokens and get your 10,000 tokens this week (the week resets on Wednesdays). In addition, some people have been able to get the EA Web Soccer tokens (5,000 of ‘em!) twice, so try that too.
Enjoy!

Finally, Word Riot Deluxe is available for download!
As you’re learning to play, take note of any special hints or tips you come up with and submit them to us via email — we’ll be putting together our usual hints and tips post in about a week.
Here are a few tips we’ve compiled in the first week of Golf Solitaire on Pogo. Feel free to submit your tips to us via email and be sure to let us know your BadgeHungry username (if you use our tracker) so we can give you credit as we add more tips to this post.
Wait until the end of a run to play a hazard card, that way you won’t have to use a Golden Shot Card.
Try to remove 1’s and 11’s; they only have one card that can remove them (2 and 10 respectively), so stastically they’ll be hardest to get rid of.
If you are playing for score, you may want to play in the Normal Speed rooms, as you’ll have more chances to play the bonus game and therefore more chances to earn a -1 Stroke card, a Wild Card, or a Golden Shot card.
If you’re playing for rank, play on Super Speedy — you’ll have more rounds in less time, and therefore more opportunity to clear hazard cards from the play field.
Try to look ahead to plan long streaks.
If you have the choice, remove cards from columns with more cards in them before removing others, especially the last ones at the top of a column.
If you have the time, use your undo button — try removing different cards to see which is most beneficial.
The game isn’t currently awarding the Flawless Victory badge; if you happen to get the 5 perfect games, take a screenshot and contact Pogo.
If you are playing for the Flawless Victory badge, play in one of the slower rooms and take your time! Use your extra seconds to plan out your streaks/runs and if you can, save up your Golden Shot cards so you always have a few available if needed.
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).
