User Submitted Trouble Board Game ReviewsDate: 2009-01-06 Trouble Game no Trouble We bought this to keep in our house when my 6 year old granddaughter visits. She already has this game at her house. She loves the game and it is an excellent one to teach children the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat of board games. Simple to learn. Fun for all to play for two to four players. Self-contained, portable and Inexpensive. Date: 2009-01-02 Hours of fun My five-and-a-half year old son received this game as a Christmas present and, hands down, it beats anything else that he received. He wants to play it night and day. To stir things up a bit, we've created our own new rules, such as "you have to move backwards for 2's," or "you can switch places with another player for 4's" and it makes the game even more fun and interesting. Trouble ... it's an oldie but a goodie! Date: 2008-12-30 great for young players! I bought this for my 6 year old for Christmas. Based on the same strategy as "Sorry", this game is easier for the very young to play. The game is intended for ages 5 and up, but I bet most 4's could play and probably even 3's would enjoy it as it could be used for learning to count, number recognition and color recognition. The dice popper is hard to push sometimes, but an older player could assist hand over hand. Overall, great game for family time! Date: 2008-12-30 Another cheaply made toy. Like most of the other reviewers said... this game is made poorly. All it is is a piece of flimsy plastic with a cutout cardboard tucked underneath it which is "secured" into place by 4 white pegs (which fall off for that matter). They could have made it a lot better. Date: 2008-12-11 Danger! May not be as much fun as you remember! Trouble is basically the same game as Sorry! or for that matter Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders. In any of these games, the game can take an exceptionally long time if you or your pieces keep getting sent back to the beginning. In any of these games, a cheating or difficult child can make a long game feel intolerable. By the time my 4 year old hits the zone when he can play this game without cheating or otherwise driving us crazy...my 7 year old will be 8 or 9, and will she still be interested? Perhaps. Anyway, the point of this review is a warning -- if games in this category (go backwards/forwards based mostly on luck) are not working for your child yet, i.e. and the cheating or not getting it and resulting acting up is driving you nuts, dont buy this one. You might think maybe it will be better, based on your fond memories. Its not better. Its the same basic mechanic, and takes a good while to play.
