Board Game: Trouble

Some games look better in the box than they are, and Trouble is definitely one of them.



I love the packaging and design of this game by Kohner Bros., but it has all of the infuriating play elements that make me want to kill myself after just a short while.

The idea is that after you roll a six with the "Pop-O-Matic" cube shaker, you systematically "pop" each of your four pieces around the board. If an opponent lands on one of your pieces, then it is sent back to the beginning... and that's how I lose my mind.



Seeing as how they marketed this as the "new frustrating chase game", I probably shouldn't be surprised.

Trouble is really a kids' game, but it's fun in a limited way. That packaging takes me back though! Gettin' old...

i agree. as a board game collector (over 300!) this game and Monopoly will never ever ever see the light of day.they are infuriating to play.
