Fringo and just what is I think is wrong about it

I don’t get or just not understanding this Fringo game. I like all but these annoying powerups. I have a good game going, then someone messes with my points or position. Why is this even part of this game. Are their defenses against this? And it not, why not? It ruins the game, in my option. I can’t find much on this games reason. I think certain powerups are just rude and so unnecessary.

Exactly!. The game will ask you to buy more Power-ups; Although you still have 5-6 you haven’t used :neutral_face: Also? If you watch closely?. Using the “Magnet” will not only steal points from other players?… IT STEALS POINTS FROM YOU! :enraged_face: By the time the Clock counts down to about 30 secs? You will start getting fruit that you don’t need!. This is when other players have a chance to put you in last place!. This game has too many “Clinches”. :enraged_face: GET RID OF IT!. Time for some new games anyway!. We seem to get new Slot Games; With poor payouts that eat up all of your Coins. You might spin 50+ times before you get a free spin.

I agree. I was in first place in one game, doing well, and then my own magnet power-up stole points from ME! Suddenly i was shifted down to 3rd place! The Magnet Power-Up should never take points from YOU! Its meant to ‘steal points’ from others!! My OWN power-up, took MY points, and gave to someone ELSE!? HOW does that make sense in a competitive game?

I agree with getting rid of the magnets and stealing points. It takes the pleasure out of the game. It’s very disappointing to be sitting in first place and have someone steal points from you or the magnet taking away points as well. This is especially frustrating when you have a challenge that you have to get first place in Fringo 3X! I rarely play this game because it frustrates me and I’m on here to chill and have a good time and not be frustrated.

FRINGO IS MY FAVORITE GAME! I have OVER 2500 power-ups saved up!! thats the whole idea, to try to outsmart other players.. otherwise it would just be a BORING bingo game. I really study what card i pick, when to use the power ups, and try to wait til last minute many times to use a really good one, to steal the game.. many of us regulars have friendly battles !!!

I happened to see you response regarding Fringo power-ups! I can understand why players want to get rid of the magnet. Maybe an explanation of how it works would have been a better response for these players! Many “of us regulars” who play on Casino World and Seven Seas are well aware of the stategic use of power-ups. Was your response announcing your 2500 power-ups written to try to help players? Congratulations on the 2500 and maybe someday your power-up count will catch up with some “of us other regulars” power-up count!

wow.. you sound a bit upset.. I am saying i save up power ups, or when i win free gems from balloon boxes, i use them to buy more. Also i have posted in other areas here, tips to buying power ups.. fringo is a game of skill. you can not win without the power ups.. You can strategize when to use them, what cards are the best.. many times i am stealing , and then bam someone steals from me.. so i look like i am losing points. Same goes for magnet. I will be clicking on my power up , at the same time as someone else, so it seems like you are losing points, but its probably just someone stealing them right back.

I think many are upset with how this game is set up. How you say you play it bothers me. Not my idea at all, of a fun game. I’ll never play it again.

They have regular bingo on here, for you to just sit and daub a number. Fringo is more of a mind game.. How to outsmart others.. Try the regular bingo. you might enjoy the slower pace of that game. Good luck ! @Suspenders_Bob

I get it. Wow. Not the pace of the game bothers me. . The dishonest part of the game I don’t care for. Making stealing part of it, with no defense against that. I find this unnecessary and hardly in the spirit of some fair play. I guess I’m too square for this kind of thrill.

well, actually there is a defence, just do the same thing back
there is a lot of strategy involved in your powerups
when you use them
how you use them
which ones you use

Not upset at all! Once again, many people are well aware of the strategic use of power ups! Maybe friends on Casino World are different. We try to explain instead of boasting our power up count. Yes, I see that you comment on everything re: the games.

I am not boasting.. its what i save up.. or earn from free gems.. But one thing i can tell you is you buy power ups only on the 2nd lowest island. If you go to that island, go fully in, as if you were playing the next round, and then buy your power ups. you will only get DAUB a FRUIT or FRUIT FAMILY. (the 2 we use the most). If you buy them on higher islands, you get a random selection of power ups…

Liz I have known Boom Boom for close to 4 years, she’s the most helpful person in 7 seas, you can see all her posts here so you can have an idea. I have never seen her brag, She mentioned the power up count to give players an idea of how important they actually are. I have about the same amount because when I buy a big pack it gives me random ones then I run out of some and have to buy again. I have over 400 of one of them that I really don’t like. Also regarding the magnet, whoever said your own magnet steals point from you couldn’t be more wrong. That doesn’t happen, never has, never will. Some of us love fringo and are addicted to it, ask that they add more games but not remove something people like. The thief steals points from you, but the magnet adds a percentage of the points of a random person in the room to your total it does not deduct points from any player.
