Altogether a great embarrassment for me, as I am sure it looks like I got my step-brother in-law a gift from a dollar store. It felt too delicate for a child to really play with.
I remember playing this when I was young and I had really enjoyed the popping dice. After reading some of the great reviews, I got this game as a gift for my step-brother in-law who is five years old.
The game board also seemed very flimsy and cheap, like it will soon fall apart. The game arrived quickly, but several of the little plastic pieces came misshapen and deformed out of the box.
It appeared that the plastic was melted (they are very hard pieces of plastic, so this could not happen easily). I am pretty sure the one I had growing up was a much better quality (it survived four crazy, wild, competitive siblings playing on it for years).Because of the misshapen pieces only three people can play this game.
I recommend buying this game from another store with higher standards and easier in store returns; try Kids R Us or Target.
In addition, it teaches patience. This is a great children's board game and lots of family fun. I reccoment this game to parents with children 3 and above. I must confess, we "bend" the rules a little when only two of us are playing. This way we get to play "lots" more games.This board game helps with finger dexterity plus it a great beginner counting game. The design of the game board itself could be improved, needs to be sturdier. The plastic bubble that holds the dice is very sturdy.
Though I grew up with Trouble and loved it, I now use it in play therapy. It is a great tool for working with kids who have difficulty stopping and thinking before acting.
We bought this to keep in our house when my 6 year old granddaughter visits. Simple to learn. 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. Fun for all to play for two to four players. Self-contained, portable and Inexpensive.
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.
