Welcome to the first Tuesday Tips Day! Each Tuesday we’ll be showcasing one of Pogo.com’s games and collecting your tips, insights, and hints for playing the games, earning more tokens in them, and earning their badges more easily.
Did you know there is an extensive library of hints and tips at our Pogo Game Ranks & Badges pages? Many folks have sent in tips for the games over the past few months, including Joe who worked tirelessly to submit tips for almost every single game on the list! Thanks Joe!
There are 40 Aces Up! ranks and five rank badges. The mix-n-match, weekly challenge, and premium badges for Aces Up! can be categorized into the following:
* Complete X squadrons/Add X planes to your squadron
* Remove X cards
* Win X tokens
* Win X hands
Check out the Aces Up! tips we’ve already collected and if you have your own tips for playing this game, earning the types of badges listed above, or for earning more tokens in this game, please share them with us in a comment below.

Today, Pogo released another round of Mini Awards in Aces Up!, Lottso!, Hog Heaven Slots, Jungle Gin, QWERTY, Crazy Cakes, and Thousand Island Solitaire.

In addition, on the Mini Award page, there were dropdowns for World Class Solitaire and KenoPop! but the dropdowns were removed later in the day. Those Mini Awards will probably come with the next release. For a full list of the Mini Award items you can earn — including the ones for World Class Solitaire and KenoPop! — check out our Mini Awards page.
There are three challenges this week as players outside of the US/Canada aren’t able to play Scrabble due to licensing restrictions.

Aces Up! – Night Flying Badge
Add 50 planes to your squadron this week!

SCRABBLE – Tile Bag Badge
Play a Blank Tile 5 times this week!

Sweet Tooth 2 – Sweet Embrace Badge
Match 5 Wild Candies this week!

There’s a new Premium Badge Album in the works (in addition to the Family Classics Premium Badge Album we told you about earlier)! It’s got ten animated badges and one for completion. There will be challenges in Aces Up, Everyone Wins Bingo, Hog Heaven Slots, KenoPop, Lottso, Pogo Addiction Solitaire, Pogo Bowl, Poppit, Sweet Tooth, and possibly Dice City Roller.
Also, this one seems to have a picnic-type theme, and a few of the badges feature squirrels (or chipmunks — we can never tell these cartoon ones apart).
Update: Our friend Kathy wrote in this morning to tell us that this album will be called “Friends Forever”.
