A simple dice game, Trouble has become a favorite in my house. Up to four
people can play at a time. The more the merrier, because a more crowded
board means more opportunities to jump your opponent. While this game is
mostly luck, there is some strategy involved in trying to decide which
pieces to move when. One thing to learn very quickly: never land on an
opponent's starting point if you can help it. He may have been stuck
there for twelve turns, but nine times out of ten he'll roll a 1 or a 6
on his next turn and send you back to where you started from.
This game usually doesn't take more than half an hour to play. It's
simple enough that most kindergartners can grasp it, but it is
entertaining for parents and grandparents too. This is a great game to
bring along on a car ride or camping trip, and the POP! is so much fun
that you'll be eagerly awaiting your next turn just so you can push that
plastic dome.
