This week’s badges look very fun. I like both games so it won’t take me as long as some other badges in recent weeks. Nice to see a badge in Shuffle Bump, it has been awhile since they had a weekly for it.
For Lottso, I like to fill the whole card to get the most bingos, (this works for me). I think I should get that one quickly.
For Shuffle Bump, all I can say is keep going for the highest numbers as possible, and try not to miss!!
Have fun and good luck this week!!
jncocidz says
lottso express was easy took 5 minutes to get fill both sides of the cards to start then just remove one side of cards and fill the one side u already got other side filled so will be easy to get.
Sandy says
Hi Everybody!
In Shuffle Bump, set the game for 100 if you want the matches to go faster. Good luck!
Alan says
two ways to do the bump badge, if your after ranking points play the 250 option set the options to no wackedness and passive, you should win every game. if not bothered for ranking points , set game for 100 and again set for no wackedness and passive.
enjoy
the unhappy spliff
okladyplayer says
Took me 2 games , thank goodness!! Lottso Express is another game that Pogo is in love with. Since April 2009, 5 M&M badges, 4 Premium Album Badges, and this is the 4th weekly challenge. 13 badges for this one game. Shuffle Bump is usually fun, I set the robot to passive and can win some games.
vegasbabu says
Got 51 bingos in the first game of lottso deluxe, so only took me 2 games to win. I didnt change my usual strategy to get this badge, i always just try to fill up the whole board to get a mega lottso.
Gonna wait til later to get shuffle bump, but dont see it being to big of a deal. GL everyone!
blue says
for shuffle bump make sure you have a comfy chair. Like this game but it’s looking like a 3 hour badge! And that is winning each game.
Ardenwolfe says
Yes, get comfortable with Shufflebump. Working on it now for my fourth hour.
justagramma says
Lottso was a piece of cake, so far with Shuffle bump.. computer 22 games , justagramma 1 game.. this is gonna be a long long week
Indy Cindy says
As usual, I am maximizing my mix and match, albums and weekly challenges. For Lottso I got the weekly quickly, a bit longer for the mix/match, and still working on the album badge. The strategy changes a bit from just getting bingos for the weekly but it still enjoyable so I have to play the game differently now to get the last badge.
Shuffle bump also has a mix and match and I am starting on that one. I also use the passive, no wackiness, 100 point game settings. This one will take a little while, but nice for a change to work on a game we don’t see as often for challenges.
As someone mentioned in another post some time ago, I agree the artwork for the newer badges appears more crisp, professional and colorful. Icons seem more appealing if you want to use those in the chat area. Wondering if they beefed up that department from the previous downsizing. I really like the new look.
Good luck and have fun everyone.

minty222 says
shufflebump will be a long game.. but i just spent an hour playing it with my missouri man , and while we alternated winning games so that we both could work the badge, we had a LOT of fun along the way. so after an hour.. we both had 5. i have to confess.. i enjoyed knocking him into the fire.. lol. i mean.. knocking him into the 10 spot. *adjusts halo*
have fun all. 🙂
beth says
WOW won the choo choo badge in 1 game y– that was quick lol enough…lmao sad part is i started a pba badge with it for 55 super lottso cards and only got 5 those in that 1 game, lol but i guess that was good also…gl all with badges <3 beth
MomsBassetHound says
justagramma #9 – Have you tried changing the settings when you set up a game?? I play against the bots, but set them up as “passive” and always set the game for either “no whackiness” or “less wacky”….and make sure you are under the “beginner” tab.
Good Luck!!

Ed says
Odd that Pogo picked 35 match wins for Shuffle Bump- that’s a ton of time even with 100 pt games.
Lura says
Ed: it was originally slated to be 50 matches! Eek.
Tom says
Happy badge day, everyone!
Interesting contrast between this weeks badges.
Lottso Express, no problemo. It took me 2 games which others have also noted.
Shuffle Bump, this’ll take some time. After a couple of hours I’m halfway there. One thing I found interesting that no one else has mentioned yet is that it looks like Pogo made a last minute change to this badge to require 35 wins instead of 50 which is a big help.
Good Luck, everyone!

Pat says
Well, finally up to 23/35 in shuffle bump–my feeling is that it was entirely fair on pogo’s part to place an easy game with a time consuming game, so no complaints here. My favorite part is when computer bot gets way ahead to find a strategic angle, pull the sling shot all the way back and disrupt the whole board…feels good and sometimes even works in my favor…hang in there, y’all this too shall pass..hope i am this enthusiastic when i start my 2nd account..LOL
Debbie10 says
Hi Everyone
On Shuffle Bump
When you line up your puck
If the 10 points on the first closes to u
pull back to just the top of the white but still in the blue,
where the pucks are at;
iF Its on the 2ed line ,abit more
If its on the top pull back to about half way where it would look like it would be in the middle of the puck
If ice is right before it it should slide right on it; glue abit more pull not much, I stay close to the edge
I hope it works for you if I explain it right. More the half of the time robot does not take a stright shot
Lottso Express:
Just try to cover in a line
Jeannie says
Hi everyone and happy badge day!!
I double browsed Shuffle Bump and have 25 of 35 wins. Thank goodness that the “other me” is not a sore loser. Had her dump her little men off the side whenever possible and always went for -6. She is such a good person I am going to treat her to a new mini item.
Lottso was easy and a lot of fun! I have not played it since I ranked out so this was a treat.
Good luck everyone!!
Noreen says
Hi Everyone and Happy Wednesday!!!!!
#14 Ed….I totally agree with you…don’t like Shuffle Bump very much..especially after this badge…took me 3 hours.
#16 Lura…are you kidding?? It was suppose to be 50? Pogo is crazy in the head sometimes…lol..
Well, got those out of way, also did the 2 new Clue badges. (there is a promo code to use to get 1st badge free and 2nd badge 50% off) yes I did take advantage of that!!! Thank you Pogo. Now I’m off to work on the new Battleship MnM badge…..good luck all!!!!
Indy Cindy says
LOL @ Jeannie #19 – I like your style!!!
Cindy
justagramma says
Suz, yes I had my game set this way, but my hands do not work properly, so this type of game is not easy for me. Same with boardwalk seaball and bowling. Going to try the double browsing thing, thanks for the idea Jeannie. My alter ego Emmanoo2U will not mind losing at all..wink wink
Connie
KathySNJ says
Jeannie- # 19 I too will double browse with shuffle bump. I haven’t started yet. I hope my other me is as kind as yours. ONLY problem —she wants her badge too!!!! lol I don’t buy her any so she is very greedy with the weeklies,
JJ says
got lottso in 2 games. Do I need glasses or is the little blue puck on the badge barfing up his milk? I dont like the mad/sad faces on the badges here lately. Good luck with shuffle bump as others have stated..no wackiness and passive and 100 point match.
#20 Noreen….what is the promo code for 50% off?. didn’t see it on pogo.
twttr says
noreen#20, took me 3 hours to do the shuffle bump badge too. but some people found a miracle way. in the pogo poll 4% did it in less than an hour and 27% did it in 1-2 hours. I did lose 1 game. duh?
Lura says
Just to eliminate any confusion and to keep things on-topic here: there is no promo code for Clue. One episode is free and one episode is 20 gems (half off) if you’re a Club Pogo member. If you want to discuss Clue, here’s the post:

amsbhavin says
in the shuffle bump game i have found that it is much easier to get badge if you play against the robots under the tab before you go in the room where it says badges for this game under that it will say play against robots if you play in there you get badge much faster worked for me have fun
Soy says
Do you have to play shuffle bump at a certain level to be able to change the options, or is it that I’m playing robots?
MomsBassetHound says
Soy #28 – You have to set up the room yourself in order to set the options.
Suz
CountDracula82 says
The Lottso Express was super easy, only took me one game. Shuffle Bump did take a lot of time, but it was good too, I was able to move up two ranks from 42 to 44, getting closer to finishing this game :). The best advice was given all ready for this game, easier to finish this badge on 100 point matches and putting the computer intelligence on passive. Good luck everyone : ).
whanapian2 says
Lottso : no problem
Shuffle : Since its 35 games. So i decided to play double browse with no wackiness. No problem at all also
vegasbabu says
#28 soy you have to actually go into a room and not just click on play robots, then u can set up the table how you like it and still play against a robot.
on a good note, i see the rave background has been changed (no more pacifier) and renamed to all night dancin
Noreen says
#25 twttr……I lost more than 1 game….lol. I really dislike that game…glad that is over with.
#26 Lura….sorry if I caused any confusion on the Clue badges. I worded that incorrectly…I apologize again. Noreen
Soy says
Thanks all, I was clicking on play robots and while I could see the options, it wouldn’t let me change them. As always, you all are the best for advice!
jaredph says
Hi everyone! (resisting the urge to put badge master’s chair on the space that reads “caution” lol)
I’m starting to think that pogo’s badge team needs to stay away from shuffle bump (remember the last weekly badge? https://www.badgehungry.com/2009/04/15/weekly-challenges-april-15-21/ ) Anyway, all I can say is try to double browse and go for the gold coins. If you’re double browsing, use one player’s pucks to knock the other player’s pucks into a high scoring space. (It can come in really handy on the spaces where the score changes when someone lands on it.)
The lottso express badge isn’t nearly as hard. All you have to do is fill all of the spaces 5 times (14 bingos each time).
Good luck!
Bill says
Shuffle Bump: Currently 17-1 against the tin heads. Playing no wackiness, passive bot, 100 point games. The one loss was a very close 102-100 game, I can usually double the bots’ score but I started off with a bad couple of rounds that game.
You can usually aim for the 10’s… just takes practice to tell how far to pull back. If you base your power on the left player’s area which indicates how many pucks they have left, (these are assuming all 4 pucks are showing …) I usually go 3 pucks of power on the left if it’s closest to me, 3.5-4 if it starts 2.5 walls away, 4 if it is 3 walls away, and to the edge of the left player’s puck area if the 10’s are along the back wall. (Go one to one puck less if you are crossing a patch of ice on the shot.) These are of course for straight shots; it will take more power if you have to angle it.
Played one of the Lottso Express games and got 65 bingos, so only one more game to go there for that badge.
ShebaRoxy says
Sorry, but I don’t understad what you mean by “double browsing”…please explain…thank you
MomsBassetHound says
While playing Shuffle Bump I got 2 badges on each account. Holly got a badge for getting to rank 5 and I got a badge for getting to rank 15. I didn’t play the 2 accounts against each other, played the robot for all 70 games.
Good Luck for everyone still working on their badges!!

MomsBassetHound says
ShebaRoxy #36 – How to double browse……Look under Game Help on the right hand side on any page and there is a link that will explain what it is and how to do it.
Suz
booboo says
All I know is it took 3 hours in 2 days for the Shuffle Bump badge. Pogo must be getting flooded with email and if they change the requirements (ALA QUICK QUACK) I will absolutely go F**king Ballistic. I am sick of all the whining that goes on over challenges and now am regularly having to shut off chat on badge days even in non badge games so I don’t have to listen. WOW it’s just a JPG you’ll live without it already.
#25 LOL I saw that too and cried BS. That’s why polls are not an exact science. You’re depending on people to tell the truth who clearly can’t
tee dee says
Wow I just started double browsing (best thing since sliced bread) Moving right along with SB Badge Thank You Lura and all BH contributors.
ShebaRoxy says
MomsBassetHound #39
Thanks for your the double browings info…didn’t work for me…tried to send a gift pass twice and Pogo kept asking for a promotional code, which I didn’t have…Oh well…ShebaRoxy
Pat says
maybe one of us can send a gift pass-dont know about promo code either–you can reach me at mamanana4a and give me the s/n to send to..aren’t there free rooms you can play in as well that don’t need the pass? Contact me if ya like, can certainly try.
ShebaRoxy says
MomsBassetHound #39
Finally got the gift badge to work with the second Pogo account…I don’t have two browsers…I only have IE..am I living in another world?…am I so behind the times?…is the badge worth all this?…
MariaLoon says
I’m going to play until I win anywhere between 6-10 games a night in Shuffle Bump. So I’ll break it up a bit over the week.
I activated Word Jong from this year for my personal challenge (15 7 letter words).
I completed Lottso Express in 2 or 3 games.
Took 3 games to get my PC done as well.
So I can devote enough time to Shuffle Bump and play at my leisure =)
Good luck everyone!
Ruffbucks1 says
hi ya all..wanted to add my 2 cents worth on the badges this week.lottso express was incredibly easy.first game i had 65 bingos and about fell over laughing at absurdly easy the badge would be.needless to say,it took 2 games only to get it. shuffle bump is time consuming and quite boring,but also a very easy badge.im thinking when i get to 34/35,im going to leave the table and just,for the hell of it,change the settings and see how wacky the bots can get.gotta liven things up in that game somehow..
anyways,i hope you all have a pleasant weekend..and ty,lura,for this site.i’d be in serious trouble with crossword cove and trivial pursuit lol
thanks
twttr says
shebaroxy, you really should get mozilla firefox, it works best for pogo and it’s free, lol
Cyrabi says
Hi all. Lottso Express was easy, I think it only took me 2 games.
Not done with Shuffle Bump yet, playing the bot to 100 points with no wackiness and a passive bot.
Jeannie says
ShebaRoxy #44
Double browing is the next best thing to everything that is chocolate!! There are many games that you can DB and win without playing against bots (i.e., Battleship, Shufflebump, Euchre, High Stakes Pool, Jungle Gin, 2-person Canasta – the list is a long one). Allows you to win in a shorter period of time. I use it also for Monopoly. Bankrupt one of the bots, get their placecards, then go around and around the board.
Is it worth it? In my own opinion, YES!!
Have a good one – jean123coop
Sheljin says
booboo #40 – I don’t know if Pogo is being flooded with mail over Shuffle Bump taking 3+ hrs. I hope not. I am hoping many people appreciate that it was a nice balance with the way-easy Lottso one this week. But, I do have to say the infamous Quick Quack badge took WAY more than 3 hours over two days and deserved any outpouring of complaints there were. Occasionally, Pogo DOES simply make a mistake and puts out a badge that is near impossible to get. Quick Quack was one. Shuffle Bump is not. Yes, yes, I know people who got the QQ the first week too. But, sorry, no badge is worth playing a game non-stop for days on end.
I realize that there are a few people out there still upset with Pogo’s “fix” of that badge, but I think they made a VERY nice compromise of it. Better than the Tripeaks one this year.
Sheba #44 – Only you can really answer that question. Double-browsing is something that takes a little getting used to, but many use it successfully (I have, but rarely for a badge). Is it important for you to get this badge? Do you think you can’t win a game on your own or find someone to play with? Then, yes, the double-browsing might be worth it to you. I also use Mozilla.
Ruff #43 – I happen to really like Shuffle Bump, so take this with that in mind. But if you are really feeling that bored with the game, but still want to see how “wacky” the bots can get, why not try it before game 34?? You may find you actually ENJOY the WACKY, AGGRESSIVE game (which does give a real challenge) and don’t mind playing it for the badge afterall.
Me rambling now: Sometimes I think we are all too worried about getting the badge ASAP!!!!!!!! and lose out on maybe finding a new game that we might actually like (or not mind too much). With a game that takes awhile like the SB badge, why not reach out to a friend you have been meaning to get in touch with? Maybe there is someone that you have been playing “game-tag” with – missing each other, wanting to play together again. Why not make a SB date? Playing a game like this with a friend, catching up, gossiping, really can be alot of fun and can certainly make the time go faster. JMO.
I went to the BH room to start my badge and while I ended up having to play the bots, I still had a lot of fun chatting with fellow BHers in the lobby as we all played at our tables. It was great and the time flew by.

sog says
Suffleboardbump stinky! – no badge for me 🙁
Well I guess I am not hungry enuf for the badges. So far I will not play the games that are no fun, or outright aggravating. I do try and usually finish the challenge, but some games are just not worth it for me.
kathysnj says
I double browsed with shuffle bump. I still had to play the 70 games. My main account went from rank 15 to 17 and my second account went from 1 to 6. I got all the mini awards now for that game. : )
Sheljin says
sog #51 – I am hoping to be around this afternoon. If you want to try for the ShuffleBump badge, I would be glad to play with you and help.
~Sheljin ;>
wheatonmom44 says
Still shufflling in ShuffleBump…I wish they was a way to de-activate the bonus game. A1 always goes for that and it slows down my game considerably.
Mamabear says
Anybody needing help with SB I’ll be glad to help ya out by losing. Pogomail me at Mamabear121151 Will be around all evening as well as tomorrow.
