Pogo has been a home for casual online games for a long time, and its catalog still leans toward what older players like: solitaire, word, Mahjong, board and card games. Top titles include Word Whomp HD, Wheel of Fortune: Pogo Edition, First Class Solitaire HD and Crossword Cove HD, all playable in a browser. Registering for free saves your progress, unlocks daily and weekly challenges with collectible badges, and opens in-game chat and community forums, which suits players who enjoy a social side. Club Pogo removes ads, adds full-screen mode and club-exclusive games, and includes monthly free gems and up to 50% off in-game purchases. EA lists it at $3.34 a month on a $39.99 annual plan, or up to $6.99 a month on other plans, after a 7-day free trial. The catch is that the free tier has ads and some games are club only. We compared documented features and published prices.
