Today Pogo released the May 2009 Mix-n-Match badges and challenges. They each cost 16 gems.
There are two notable differences with this set than when we first gave you a sneak peek:
First, the Mother’s Day Limited Edition badge was not released today. We expect it to be released on Tuesday, so it’ll be out in time for Mother’s Day which is the following Sunday. For more information on it and to see the badge itself, check out the end of the sneak peek post from the beginning of this month.
Second, the requirement for the Monopoly Slots M-n-M has changed. Originally it was Pass GO 3 times in 3 days!, which is not impossible but pretty time consuming at the rate the dice come off the spinners. We think you might get a good laugh out of the new requirement below.

For Backgammon and Canasta, it’s easier to play with a cooperative friend or stranger. To play by yourself, you need 2 browsers and 2 different screen names. One that’s Club and Non/Club! Sign in both and be in the same room, and you can control your games getting it that way. For Canasta, you can play 4 player with another person to get the Red 3s that way. Before the game ends, just jump to the side with the most Red 3s.
All the other badges, looks self explanatory. Well good luck!

A YEAR playing Monopoly Slots just to get around the board ONCE? I knew it was a slow game, but that constitutes cruel and unusual punishment!
bob says
lmao 300 days to go around go once in monoply slots too easy lmao no tips for any badges gl all
dee says
Monopoly Slots only took me an hour to get the badge
Kat F. says
LOL OMGosh!! What a big giggle I got outta the Monopoly Slots Badge and of course I HAD to get it!!
My tip is to wait until you are ALMOST to the GO spot and THEN activate the Badge!! Then you’ll have a M&M Challenge freed up to use on another. Don’t activate it til you’re very close, got it?
THIS made my week!! ROFL Even Pogo had to admit the dice don’t come very often!!
Have a great week everyone!! 🙂

I got a good laugh at Monopoly Slots. At least they get it – but we aren’t – the dice, that is.
Dude says
you’re poker details are incorrect. It is only win 10 hands not 12. Just an FYI.
Lura says
Thanks Dude! I guess they changed more than just the Monopoly Slots badge! I’ve fixed it, thanks again for letting me know.

Dude says
I just noticed also that Keno Pop is 25 jackpot spins not 55.
Lura says
Dude: thanks again. I guess I’m going to have to look more carefully when posting the badges that go live versus just pasting the ones that were originally planned. Argh. 🙂
