Also, what did you think of the “Expert Level Badge” note about Tri-Peaks Solitaire’s Spiral Serpent badge? Was it really that hard, should it have received such a rating? Do you think all badges should have ratings?

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”.

Today, Pogo has rolled out additional changes to Badge Central, and with those changes come December’s Mix-n-Match badges. Each badge and challenge costs 16 gems; this set of badges will expire on December 22, 2009.
