If you're addicted to pogo.com like I am, then this will make a great addition to your DS games.

It has 5 classic Pogo games: Poppit, Tri-Peaks Solitaire, Word Whomp, Squelchies & Phlinx. The games are almost exactly like the ones you play all day long on Pogo, though they have different backgrounds and more options, such as "hint" in Word Whomp, and different skill levels in Tri-Peaks. You can even add the tokens you win on your DS to your online account, though you need WiFi to do so. (I just go to the local Starbucks to do it.)

My only problem is the small number of games. There are tons of games on Pogo, and of the 5 on this cartridge, I only regularly play 2: Tri-Peaks and Word Whomp. I'm hoping Pogo will come out with more games for the DS, with a larger number of the Pogo games I love online.

Couldn't take my computer on vacation and would have gone into withdrawl if this game hadn't existed! Bought the Nintendo DS Lite just to play this. Then my son and his friends discovered they loved it, too!
Has 4 of my favorite games and can't wait until more come out on DS. Very easy versions, but can up the difficulty. Stylus easier on my hand than clicking mouse. Good variety. Great graphics. I love it!

This a very good family game for ages 8 and above. Some of the people are rude, but not bad. All different types of personalitys. Our whole family plays, and we go to each other's town. To do that you need to own more than one DS, and game.
