aces up!

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!

If you have any hints or tips on how to earn any of these badges or if you’re stuck and need a little help, post a comment below. Thanks!

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”.

This may be the earliest monthly Mix-n-Match yet! December’s challenges are out. The challenges are for Aces Up!, Canasta, Dominoes, Fortune Bingo, Jigsaw Detective, Texas Hold’em Poker, Thousand Island Solitaire, and Vaults of Atlantis Slots.

There are also two Limited Edition badges included that are on a limited release and have animated chat icons. These two are for First Class Solitaire and Word Whomp and will only be available until January 1, so get crackin’!
