I've found that Stellar Sweeper is a good game for building up your number of tokens quickly. Each game takes about a minute to finish and you can get about 150-180 tokens per game. Mars is my favorite planet to play. It doesn't have any sharp corners so it goes quickly. My best time is 38 seconds.

A couple of my favourites for getting good tokens are Free Cell where you can usually get a good spin with a win and average about 500 tokens per game, and Canasta is good for over 1000 tokens per game won! And I love both games.

Thanks for the tip, Rufus! I'm always looking for better ways to get more tokens. I've got to keep my Pogo mini in fashion in the la-*test*-('") styles and it ain't cheap. :wink:

This week's challenges: High Stakes Poker Hit and Run Badge: Win 7 hands with a "Straight" or better this week! Win this badge plus 600 Tokens! Squelchies Slithering Serpent Badge: Clear 125 waves this week! Win this badge plus 800 Tokens!

I got the poker badge but it was really irritating me because it quite often gives back the same card that I throw out!!! Or I'll throw out a card and then when the hands are revealed, the card will be in another hand??? Pffft.

I saw the new hairstyles and there are several I like! I'll get them once I build up my tokens. I went to the Pogo social last night where you get to show off your mini and Pogo representatives are there. I mentioned that I'd like to have pets available for the minis because I'd like to get a cat for my mini and other people in the room agreed that they liked that idea so I hope they'll consider it. :razz: I was afraid the poker badge was going to take a long time because I was playing for 15 or 20 minutes before I got a win toward the badge but then it picked up and I got the badge pretty quickly. Everyone was complaining about how boring Squelchies is and how long it takes to finish the badge. It does take a while but it can be done in one day so it's not that bad. I just have to pick a personal challenge. I was going to do Turbo 21 but I'm thinking of doing pool instead. There's a premium badge I want to get in pool so I figured I might as well work on both badges at the same time.

I love the pool!!!! I'm doing First Class Solitaire for my personal because I'm also working on it with the premium badge.

Pool, I don't so much care for, but then agin, I've only been in there for a few brief moments checking it out. I did not care for Jungle Gin when I first had to play for a badge, but I chose it as pc this week, and quite came to enjoy it. Not only do I love beating that dam puter, but I really luuuuurrrvvvveee the smug smile my Emma displays whenever we beat botman!

Unless they change them, it looks like the challenges this week will be Qwerty and Canasta. I'm not thrilled with Canasta and I just played it last week for a premium badge. I kick ass in Qwerty, though, so that challenge ought to go fast.

This week's challenges: Canasta Cool Cat Badge: Make 7 "Canastas" with NO WILDS this week! (Finish the hand to get the badge!) Win this badge plus 600 Tokens! QWERTY 5 Grand Badge: Win 5 1000-point games this week! Win this badge plus 800 Tokens!

I've been saving up my tokens and just got a bunch of new hairstyles today. Yippee!!! I'm still crossing my fingers that maybe they'll come out with pets for our pogo minis. Personally, I think it would be neat to have a cat instead of a person! I could get all kinds of cute backgrounds for my kitty, get little kitty costumes for it or have it groomed in different ways, buy it cat toys and treats, and see it smile when I win a game or bare its fangs when it loses, change it from a black cat to a calico cat then to a persian cat, whatever I wanted for the week. lol!

Canasta took ten minutes. Qwerty won't take much longer! Easy week so I better pick a toughie for my personal.

I'm getting down to the last few badges need to complete the 2003 album and some of the ones left are real doozies. I'm especially dreading these: Checkered Flag Badge Dice Derby Win 3 Races IN A ROW Win this badge plus 250 tokens! It's hard enough to win 2 games in a row! I don't know how you'd win 3 games in a row unless you played with friends and had them throw the game for you. Spades Sunrise Badge Spades Win 3 500-point games this week! Win this badge plus 300 tokens! Ugh, I hate Spades. Queen of Spades Badge Hearts Win 30 100-point games this week! Win this badge plus 400 tokens! Not real wild about Hearts, either, and this sounds like it would take a while to complete.
