Customer Review: Fond Memories Drove Search Resulting In Aggravation
Summary: 4 Stars
The holidays are a nostalgic time for most people. In my recall, the holidays began with a four day weekend for Thanksgiving. A month later, there would be a three week hiatus from school. During those days away from school, there would be lots of card games, and dice games, as well as endless rounds of board games. One of the requisite items that better appear under the tree at Christmas was a new board game.
One of our favorites was the marble and dice game, Aggravation. Depending upon the version, either 4 or 6 could play. The earliest versions I ever played appeared to be home-made. Now I know these were manufactured from the company this way. There have been small alterations in the appearance through the years, but these are cosmetic differences only. The locations of starting zones and home bases are of very little consequence. That they exist are of a great deal of consequence. Each player must still roll either a one or a six to get released from the starting zone onto the board. A six still garners a player another roll, but only if that player has a man out on the board able to travel. And each player must make the fateful decision to try the shortcut through the center of the board, or ignore the shortcut for fear of getting stuck in there, unable to roll a one. It always seemed like the game was even more fun if a grown up or two would play along.
The game I located via an Amazon vendor is in wonderful condition with all pieces present and accounted for. The configuration of the board is consistent with the year of manufacture cited. (I never even thought about changes and variations in manufacture from year to year.) I guess I learned something along my trip down memory lane, and ultimately, the trip led to me finding Aggravation. (the game, that is.}

Brand new game factory sealed in plastic. Please note: that we do not ship our toys or games via priority mail or internationally. We provide next day shipping with a delievery confirmation number. We will email you once your item has been shipped out.Grrr! Getting aggravated yet? Aggravation is the classic marble race around a star shape, from base to home sweet home. It's always tempting to take a shortcut, but beware! An opponent might be waiting for just such an opportunity to aggravate. By landing on another player's marble, anyone can send that marble back to its base to start over. And this could be a serious setback, since the object is to get all four marbles back home before the others do. Each player rolls the die and moves a marble around the board, choosing along the way whether to aggravate another player, take a shortcut (or super shortcut!), or just try to quietly slide by (good luck with that approach!). The game includes 24 marbles, 18.5-by-18.5-inch game board, die, and instructions. For two to six players. --Emilie Coulter
