Good grief, TWO first class solitaire badges with the SAME requirements, 1 in each of these first 2 collections…WHAT is Pogo thinking?!Wait, lol…Why not different games and requirements, eesh this is really frustrating!Bought them both though while shaking my head and will buy the others too
Bev says
No, differebt requirments. One is to clear 35 foundation stacks. and the other is to place 200 cards in the foundation stacks.
tiggerlicious196 says
Still foundation stacks, least 1 of them we don’t have to win
MomsBassetHound says
Since there are over 60 games on Pogo there should be 50 different games used in a 50 badge collection.

I was really hoping Pogo would’ve smartened up and did that, sigh!
skye says
agreed !
Annie says
I’m so excited for these! I’m a big animal lover and can’t wait to have these in my collection. Thanks, Pogo!
RyzandShyn says
Oy vey! All these fun games that we like to play which get no badges made for them time after time after time!
It’s beyond understanding.
I might get Pack #2. I’m certainly not a fan of Pack #1.
RyzandShyn says
I wrote about this issue on the forums and hope that if some BH folks join by posting similar opinions that we can get some variety at some point down the road

SoCalSailor says
There appears to be about a half dozen games which are the “go to” games for badges…There are a couple of solitaire games, esp. Jet Set Solitaire, for one, which show up all the times. Pogo goes to these same few badges and the various hunts they’ve had in the last few games. If you don’t like the games, you are shut out of the contest. I wish Pogo would think their policy through and make some changes. I don’t even play the various hunts because I know I’m going to hit these games, sometimes over and over.
Come on, Pogo, you can do better than that.
MomsBassetHound says
Pogo will never make everyone happy b/c we all like different games. I love Quinn’s & Snowbird, and most members don’t care for either of them. There are games that some love that I have to force myself to play.
But using the same games is each and every bundle needs to stop.

This link did not get me anywhere.

OOps, Sorry RyzandShyn, I finally did get there. I hope this does not cause them to start putting a bunch of games that we don’t like and repeating those all the time. It seems when they were doing a lot of Quinns, there were a lot of complaints. Hopefully, they can give a little more variety for everyone and not fill the list with games the majority do not want. Right now, I think they are putting games that most people play. I have not seen suggestions from people on what they want them to put in the collections. Maybe that is what we need to do.
vrymoody71 says
Sometime in the future, will pogo release any of these badges as singles?? They always have the same games. If they were not going to create a varitey of badges to get, they should have only re-vamped certain ones.
Cindy4764 says
I had to get #2 just to get the Snowy Owl. It’s so pretty I “ borrowed” it for my watch face, shhhh. 😊
Kygirl1942 says
As usual, the Spades took the longest in Pack 1. I hate Spades! All the others in both packs went quickly,
JOE PELTIER says
Bought both sets but will only do 7/10 in each set as that’s how I buy, have to like at least 7 of the 10 games & usually ends up that way.. You can do better EA as usually same games every time & some games never get used so that’s very bad planning on EA’s part.
