I love Pogo Addition Solitaire, but winning without using powerups is a killer!
eagles227_98 says
I did my 9 in Addiction Solitaire in LESS than 1 hour. GO SLOW and make smart moves. Use undo button. Good Luck & Love & Prayers to all.

I think the Monopoly badge may be looong, but the Addiction badge went quick once I realized I could use the reshuffle. – It is not counted as a power up.
danielle says
butterfliesRfree #3 – Thank you sooo much 🙂 That was my question when I came here. The shuffle should make it quite a bit easier. As for Monopoly, I spend most of my time in the clink when I play that game. I figure that one should go fast.
Have a fun Challenge Day, everybodyღღ
Anne says
I just played Monopoloy and thought I’d have 1 time in Jail, but it appears that if you get a chance card it doesn’t count and you must actually “land” in jail. This might be a long one!
DottieDeeDee says
I’ve never been very good at Addiction Solitaire, though I do like it. I’ve always played primarily for the “buddies” since this is the path to rank advancement, and did not finish an “impossible” game after getting the “buddies.” But for today’s badge I played every game to the finish, even if it seemed impossible. Boy, was I surprised. I just won a game in which I had only THREE cards in sequence before all moves were blocked with Kings, but I won the game with the next re-shuffles!
I’ll have to admit that on many occasions I have learned useful aspects of a game by playing with seemingly strange variations imposed by the challenges. Good luck, all!
wearymom#3 says
I shocked myself and got the badge in 7 games for addiction solitaire. No skill but just lucky placements. If there is strategy for this game, I really can’t identify it.
Jess says
eagles227_98 #2 – Would you be willing to share your strategy? How do you decide how to play your cards? Thanks!
pastorpapabear says
Don’t you just hate it when everyone else lands on jail but no matter how many times you go around the board, you just can’t seem to land there! I’m also playing a PBA where I have to land on free parking 10 times and three games is a row i have not landed on either Free Parking or Jail, but Computer 2 has landed on jail three times in a row around the board. GRRRRRRRRRR!
goNILor4p says
I was shocked how easy Pogo Addiction Solitaire was for this weeks challenge only took me 9 games total!
Now on to Monopoly-wish me luck only play when there’s a badge.
phil says
Nor bad badges,I was dereading Addiction this week cause i thought that would be really hard to finish,but only took 30 mins to get badge,Monopoly took1 full game so overall both badges took 1 hr 15 mins to complete!
Mrs. Mike Brown says
Happy Badge Day ALL!
Add sol went easier than I thought. In Monopoly you can set up a game with bots in a speedy room and leave. I always wait for the dice to roll before I leave. The game will play itself. I hate monopoly! LOL
Frances says
wow you must all be very lucky to get the addiction solitaire badge so quickly – it just took me three hours to get that one!!
mspatmac says
Took me 34 games to get the badge but playing in BH room made it fun! Thank goodness for the room, makes a big difference when you play with friends. GL all
LindaS says
WOW I have been playing AS for 3 hours and not one win. Kudos to those who got it. This will probably be the first missed badge in my 2011 album. Have a great day everyone
rabbitandkitty says
gl e1,i just played 1 game of monopoly got chance card go to jail it does count cause when game ended said 1/3
Indy Cindy says
I got very lucky and finished both challenges in under 90 minutes. In monopoly, I had the game set on speedy, played with bots, bought no properties, accepted no offers and let the game basically play by itself while I did other stuff. I rolled myself to jail twice in a row, got out each time, and 2 turns later got sent to jail with a card I drew. Purely luck in both games. Now I will go back to addiction solitaire and finish my mix/match. Good luck everyone.
CaptHitsugaiya says
Got both.
Monopoly took less than an hour. 2 games was all I needed.
The OTHER one, was a total PITA. It took 3.5 hours; 48 total games.
I have yet to decide what personals I’ll be doing.
Judy says
Just a word to the wise……monoply slots keeps freezing….Got to the last spin….had two “in jails”…..and game froze…..lost both of them sooooo be prepared!!! waaaaaaa
danielle says
Got my AS badge in about an hour. There doesn’t seem to be much of a strategy, really, just get a good deal and use the undo. I’d probably still be at 0/2 if I hadn’t used my undo at the end. The game lets you undo moves back to your last reshuffle, as many times as you need. It is helpful. Not easy, but definitely doable. Good luck =)
MomsBassetHound says
Judy #19 – The badge is NOT for Monopoly Slots. It’s for Monopoly World, where you buy properties and build on them.
Suz
vlamp66 says
both these challenges are rediculous!
i can think of better games to put my time and effort into!
i attempted them both i dont want to spend that much time on 2 games when there are so amny others. these 2 games font have enough of a payout to make it worth all the time! sry gl to all who want them.
Karia says
I too like pogo addiction solitaire, I got the mix & match badge before the weekly challenge! I didn’t win not one game without using power ups! They need to change the voting on the challenges from hours to DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!
eagles227_98 says
Jess #8–I gues what I mean is playing cards ahead. I know what I mean, but putting it into words is hard. Looking ahead on what will give the best moves. GL and I am here if you need me. Love & Prayers always.
Richard
Chrissy says
Got lucky with this weeks challenges and got them both done in 2 hours give or take a few minutes. In Addiction Solitaire i got it in 3 games even though I’m no good at it. In Monopoly i got thrown in jail 3 times in 1 game.
Good luck everyone!
vibirdlady says
Played w/ bots and got Monopoly game quickly. Set up game the way that’s listed in BH. For Addition Soltaire, still at it. Not one of my favorite games so I came here for HELP. Will try some of the ways listed. I have hard time winning using the powerups so you know I’m in trouble. Good Luck to all! Vera ^v^ ^v^ ^v^
Sandy says
How do you set up the monopoly game? All my options are grayed out.
michelle says
I got the Addiction badge! I have maybe completed 4 games of that in the past so I am rather proud of myself. I kept hitting new game until the 2’s were closet to the starting point. My brother is going to play my Monopoly badge for me so if any of you see me and I don’t respond, it’s not me playing.
Good luck all and remember patience is needed for AS, but if I can get it done anyone can :}

Kathi says
I finally got the pogo addiction solitaire. But sheesh the room I was in all they discussed was the government policies. Not sure how they got the badge with so much chat going on.
The monopoly went okay, never thought I would want to land in jail.
Good luck to all.
kathy says
hi all
i got the pogo addiction badge and monopoly badge. no tips for pogo addiction both of my wins when i needed bonus gift.
on monopoly, i play in speed rooms and took 4 games to finish ,
i hope pogo has this badge contest annually , it is great to see the different badges and requirements come up and the artwork used for it
have a nice day
dramacomic says
Sandy #27 – For the monopoly game set up, if you want to change the rules, you have to click on the “Custom” tab at the top of the list before entering a game room. The Pogo, Official, Family, and Speedy tabs all have pre-set rules (I think). Hopefully that answers your question. I’m pretty sure you can get the badge using any rules though
Cupcakes_&_Cards says
Sandy #27 – On the Monopoly home page, click on the Custom tab, choose a room and a table. You’ll then see a window pop up that allows you to customise your table.
CaptHitsugaiya says
Sandy, you need to go to the Custom tab to have control over most game settings. It’s the only way.
LindaKaye49 says
Monopoly badge went fast for me. I just can’t seem to get the 2 in Addiction Solitaire. Going to keep at it as I am a stubborn one when it comes to winning a game. I see the hint on the re-do and will try that. Thanks for that help. Have a great day e1.
professorwho says
For what the information is worth. Added to the excellent advice offered by other players.
Try to stay at the back (right side) of the card field as much as possible and don’t move groups of cards. Say you have a 7 and space for the 8 & 9. Don’t until you need to except for when moving to the front line 2 ‘s and up. It seems to give you more breathing room.
Try to get your kings behind the queens as soon as you can and as close to the right side as you can.
I got the badge in 4
peek says
As far as Monopoly is concerned I wasn’t having that much luck at first so came to Badge Hungry and read “Play speedy and play bots” and it worked for me. Thanks.
Last week I won a game in Addiction Sol without using power-ups but no luck today so far – I’ll just keep trying.
v says
can’t hardly believe it but Addiction Solit. took me only about 8 minutes to get. I thought that this badge was going to be difficult. I Definitely say to use the undo as much as needed. monopoly shouldn’t be so bad since i am always a ‘jail bird’ there. l to all. great site here.
TomT says
I didn’t have much trouble with the badges this week. I actually liked the Addiction one and got it in 8 & 7 games for each of my accounts. I usually use the Free Space (Remove a King) powerup early in that game if I can so not using that did make this challenge more interesting, IMO.
Also, as a bonus, I won the volcano game on each account as well but I only got the 4000 tokens (while I still don’t have the Spike mask! LOL)
For anyone looking for hints/strategies for this game there are a lot of good ones on the Ranks, Badges & Tips section here and in the Tuesday Tips page linked to from there
https://www.badgehungry.com/game-ranks/pogo-addiction-solitaire-ranks/
For Monopoly I just double-browsed a 2-player Custom game and by the time I aquired all of the properties each account had already been jailed 3 times so that went pretty quickly.
Good luck, everyone and have fun!
-Tom
cocomlis says
A mere 70 games and a rank up to succeed in Addiction Solitaire (nap needed now, lol)
For the first time ever, I played a complete game in Monopoly without getting near Jail…but 3 more games and I finished that one too.
eboyply says
In the past I always used the power-ups to win.So this was a real challenge.What helps is the undo button especially if your really close.Don’t give up you will get it eventually: ) As for the Monopoly I lucked out and landed in jail in no time.
Hels says
Took me about 8 or 9 games to win the Addiction Solitaire one. Playing without using power-ups is not something I usually do… I often won without using any of the shuffles, but I don’t think I have won without using power-ups more than once or twice before, they are too tempting. Good challenge, whomever created it!
I definitely recommend using UNDO a lot to test different options before committing to one, unless it’s clear which one offers the most advantage.
And Monopoly took two games. I played one full, traditional one (and won, too! yay!) and then one speedy one to make it go faster. Hoped to go up a rank, too, but didn’t quite make it. Just a few times left to pass Go, though, so next time I play I should get there.
booboo says
Both seemed relatively easy to me and was done both in under an hour. I think it took me 3 games to win 2 w/o power ups. Unfortunately I do not have any better tips than the ones that are posted here except get your 2s up as quick as possible and make sure when you move to the right you move a card that you can play a streak behind.
famdawplayer says
Happy Badge Day everyone and good luck! I got the PA in about 2 hours and monopoly in just 2 games. Gives me lots of time to work on some time consuming personal challenges. Have a great day all.
brittanylinda211 says
It took me 3 games of Monopoly to get to jail 3X. And exactly like everyone here said – getting sent to jail by a chance or community chest card does NOT count!! LOL
As for pogo addiction – I love the game and have it i my favorites I just never realized how often I rely on at least one of the power ups. I did have to switch rooms to get a better deal and it took me between 1 and 2 hours after all was said and done.
ALICIA BUTLER says
ive noticed that if i fill the cards from smallest 2 largest in order, that i win pretty much every game! for ex: if ive gotta blank space behind a 3 & a blank space behind a 5, i would place a card behind the 3, then behind the 5- watching as each new card opens up as i move a card. vgl e1!
jaredph says
A few hours ago, pogo released their “letters to the editor”, and in one of them, the editor includes a link to some tips that may help with the addiction badge. (Though, overall, the editor’s response to the letter he/she received could not be more wrong. (sigh) )
vibirdlady says
Still trying to win 2nd game in AdSol! Came bacl here to see if there were any tips I had missed earlier. Sadly there weren’t so will be going back. I WILL WIN THAT 2ND Game!!!. I usually use my power ups so it makes it toughter. I’m ready to shoot a couple of Kings!, GG for those who are able to play this easily. In room 50030 w/ nice folks so back to it. ^v^ ^v^ ^v^
Danielle says
I’m going crazy! Here I thought the Addiction Solitaire would be hard but got 1 on the first game and then won the badge on the 9th game. Overall not too bad! But I can’t get even 1 time in jail with Monopoly! I ALWAYS get sent to jail. I have a bad habit of always landing on the “Go to Jail” spot which is annoying because I hardly ever pass go. But noooo of course now that we have a badge for it I’m on my 10th game and not even 1 time in jail. Ok correction I was sent to jail once but the game froze and booted me and therefore I’m back to 0. I’d like to cry haha
Danielle says
Woo! 2 out of 3 now for my Monopoly badge. Never thought I’d be thrilled about silly jail. I’m just posting this because I thought it was going to only be 1 out of 3. I was sent to jail on a chance or community. I didn’t read it, but it said something about investigation fraud or whatever and it apparently counted. So I’m not sure why some are and some aren’t but it’s helpful for me at least.
Shelly says
I never thought not going to jail would be so frustrating! lol
I went to jail twice in the first game, first time for landing on jail and the second time was for throwing 3 doubles. Second game, no jail. Third game I went to jail on a chance card, no other times in jail during the game and it counted at the end for me.
I also made rank 10!
Addiction Soli will be odd for me as I usually only play for buddies then hit new game but if I get a gift I play to win but that isn’t often.
badlokii says
The addiction solitaire badge was a major pain for me. It took me many hours to get that badge. I finally used the tip about hitting new game until the board looked “good”, that made a difference. I’ll also be completing my 2003 weekly album this week.
BlueDogs says
Ugh, not sure if I will bother with the Addiction Sol badge this week. I ranked out in that game long ago and winning a game WO using powerups can take some time, not to mention winning TWO games that way! I may activate this badge as a personal in the future if I have a M&M or something to activate along with it but am NOT feeling it this week. LOL
Haven’t played Monopoly World in quite some time. Normally I get sent to jail quite a bit but since that is the badge requirement I’ll bet I will suddenly have a long streak of “good luck” with NOT getting sent to jail. LOL

MomsBassetHound says
The badges were a lot easier than I thought they would be.
I got the Monopoly badge in 1 game on my account, and 2 games when I did Holly’s. I played the speedy 30 turn game since I really don’t care much for the longer games.
The Addiction Solitaire only took 3 games for my badge, and approx. 10 games for Holly’s. I really thought it was going to be harder then it was.
Good Luck to anyone still working on their badges!!

shygirlornot says

brittanylinda211 says
Today I played Monopoly for my temporary membership name and got the monopoly badge in 1 game. I went to jail by landing on the jail spot and then one for a community chest card and once for a chance card. Yesterday these cards did not count when I played for my main account. I guess something changed at some point during the day!?!!! Now Im on to addiction solitaire. Maybe I will luck out and something will have changed there also! LOl
kate says
Pogo Addiction Solitaire is really just a luck of the cards. Yesterday it took me 3 hours to get my badge, and today it only took me 20 minutes to get my hubby’s. Sigh.
Monopoly was easy.. played under “Custom,” made everybody start with 5 properties, and 55 turns. My third time in jail was around the 35th turn, but had to play it out to get the badge. Only took a half an hour 🙂
Good luck to everyone still working on their badges!!
shygirlornot says
im so proud of myself i got it((addiction badge))!!! wow so glad that’s over 🙂
seasmoke says
The Monopoly badge couldn’t have been easier! I played against bots on Speedy tab. I won the badge in one game. Went to jail SEVEN times in that one game. (Closet felon here! LOL) I would get out of jail and the first time around the board after getting out of jail, I’d land on the Go to Jail space and back to jail I went. Since going to jail was the objective for this badge, this suited me just fine.
The Pogo Addiction badge took me 11½ hours of actual playing time. I find it very hard to believe anyone can consistently earn the badge in under an hour. I was at the beginning (first 20% or so) of Rank 11 when I started. I made Rank 14 by the time I earned the badge. I did win the volcano game for the full complement of 4,000 tokens 5 times, so that was compensation of a sort for the long hours of play.
It takes 480 buddies to go from the very start of Rank 11 to the very start of Rank 14. Assuming I was at 20% toward Rank 12, subtract 28 from the 480 needed buddies. That’s 452 buddies. Assuming 3 buddies per game (some games give 2 rather than 3, but 3 is about average), it took me 151 games to finally earn the badge. I didn’t keep a tally of number of games played; it would have been just too discouraging. But the math speaks for itself in the number of buddies required to move up those 3 ranks.
I like to think I am a decent PA player. Maybe not! I make good use of the Undo button and I follow what I believe to be helpful strategies. Can’t help but wonder how many of those who got the badge fast did so using a bot. I played in both BH rooms (50030) and in random rooms. The majority of players in all rooms I played in were enduring hours of play trying to earn the badge. Many gave up in frustration. I don’t mind a badge that’s challenging, but the time required to earn this one was ridiculous.
jaredph says
By the way, while I was playing the badge, I noticed that when I was playing the bonus game, when I picked the buddies in the corners (top, bottom left and bottom right) first, they never had the fire icon. Weird.
jaredph says
Correction: I just had fire icon in bottom left, it must’ve been a coincidence earlier. Sorry for the confusion.
MomsBassetHound says
seasmoke #58 – I got 2 AS badges in 13 games and I do not use a bot, never have, never will.

Joyce says
hi e1 this is my first time for a post.PA badge this week takes alot of strategy and Luck I did mine in about 1 1/2 hour.Did my daughters in about 15 minutes and her first one didn’t have to use any shuffles at all.So glad that badge is done though know it was discouraging to some but did get to gift a lot of tokens to others. Happy pogoing.luv badge hungry gl Joyce
Caren says
The Addiction Solitaire game took be 3 1/2 hours to win. I used to think I was pretty good at the game. I got the first win in 16 games, which seemed long until I didn’t get the next win until a total of 53. In Monopoly I had my third jail and the game had an error and closed.
eagles227_98 says
#58-seasmoke–I tend to differ with you on saying players doing the PA challenge MUST be using a “bot” if they get it in less than 1 hour. MANY people know how to look ahead at what will happen on a play. I take offense at your comment. I did a total of me & 8 friends all in LESS than 1 hour and NO BOT!! DO NOT JUDGE OTHERS at what they are able to do and you can’t. Thank You and the Lord’s Blessings.
Richard
tnt says
I love this game so I did mine, my sisters and three friends. Some were quick and easy and others took forever. It’s all about the luck again. You can do this challenge. Hagd.
Shelly says
Well after reading seasmokes post #58 I wasn’t going to post my Addiction Soli update but thought what the heck, I don’t care if they or others don’t believe me!
I agree with eagles #64, just because you struggle with a badge doesn’t mean eveyone who isn’t struggling is using a bot!
I got my Add Soli badge in 3 games. Won the first, lost 2nd and won the 3rd so in all took about 15 minutes.
bobbi (bjvs1118) says
Have to say *Thank You* to Lisa for doing the PAS badge for me ! <3
never would have gotten this one (still trying in case it comes up again)
WTG! ev1 who got this one!
cass says
Monopoly wasn’t bad at all. It took 3 short games I think. For most of the time I just let the game play itself while I did other things around house. So that was cool. Addiction Solitaire was a real challange for me. I’m not that good at that game to begin w/ so I expected this to be hard. It took me right around 4 hours so all in all not the hardest or longest badge I’ve had LOl. Congrats to all of you who got it so quickly. I’m truly impressed!!
Stef140 says
Mixed week of badges for me. On my main account the PAS took about 5 hours and the Monopoly took me nearly 10 games. But then on my secondary account is was 5 games on PAS and 2 for Monopoly. So overall it was not bad, gonna pick some easy ones for personals though.
Cyrabi says
For the PAS badge when I used all the Shuffles and still had moves to make I just hit New Game and try again. The Undo button helps alot!
For Monopoly World I played the bots. I always play the bots in Monopoly World. To seasmoke #58. How do you know someone who got the PAS badge in under an hour is using a bot? Can you see their screen? Maybe they are really good at the game or had a good layout of the cards.
