I have played Canasta with a friend for many years and this update has slowed the game and made joining annoying. Wish I knew another interactive site.

they have "upgraded" and totally ruined

I have tried it as a member and as a non member, both are awful

for years the worst problems were stallers and booters,now you can not even get cards dealt

if you find a new site,let me know

the platform they were using is being archived. Most of the games that were on it can't be made to play on the new platform. I will cancel my subscription.
I was a Pogo mainstay for years and years. I think I started in 2005. My name was PipandPoppy and I was the first to get 1000 "true" 300 bowling games. Thousands of people would go to my help site, PipsTips each year.

I miss it.

Meanwhile pogo has moved down my list too.
Mostly because of their reliance on mah jong games....NO NO NO!
not gonna play them!
I still get the weekly badges ( unless mah jong /Quinn’s).

I cannot watch TV and play because I will mostly lose. And even when I pay attention I lose a lot.

It's a strategy game often, (sometimes the cards just suck and you can't do anything about it) When I first started playing I really sucked at it.

I always play the Set Game everyday but that is just one game. It's pretty challenging too.

And I don't get your dislike of Spades. Good grief, you have about 4 or 5 options and can create your own rules if you want to. Try playing Jungle Gin instead. Same deal, though. OPTIONS.

At the top there are three other options underlined in red. Game Settings, Room Settings, and Advanced Options. What is it you are wanting to do and maybe I can help. What was going on in the lobby, I don't remember it - but I have some short term memory loss going on!
