Toys and Games Reviews of Trouble Board Game
Customer Review: Fun and Educational
Summary: 5 Stars
I think the recommended age for this product of 5 years and up is a little off. My son loves this game. He has been playing it since he was 3. The die in the bubble has numbers on it instead of dots which help kids recognize them.
This has improved my sons counting abilities and number recognition. He loves smashing mom and dad's pieces and sending us back to our start positions. He comprehends the concept of the game perfectly and begs us to play with him all the time.
My daughter is nearly 3, but doesn't quite understand the game. She loves to play with us but putting the pieces on her fingers (they fit perfectly!) and pushing the bubble. Soon, she will get more into it and will be able to play with us for real.
This game has increased family time in our house and countless hours of fun. Any household with preschool children must have this game!
Customer Review: A game that's fun for anybody to play
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been playing Trouble since I was a kid and it's still fun to play with my brothers and my niece. You push down on the middle part of the game with the dice in it and the dice will 'pop' and give you a number, telling you how many spaces to move. The first person to get their four pieces around the board and to their base, wins. If you land on a space where one of your opponent's pieces are already at, they will have to start all over with that piece. For that reason, some kids might get mad if they have to start over, but that's the only thing that I see that anyone wouldn't like about Trouble.Playing Trouble can teach kids some counting skills and maybe even some sportsmanship after you teach them not to get mad because they're not winning everytime. Trouble is a lot of fun and I recommend anybody to get it.
Customer Review: Could be made a lot better...
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm a 27 year old mother of 3. I remember loving this game when I was a kid. I was so dissapointed when I opened this game. I couldn't believe how cheesey it is. You can barely 'POP' the dice. And when my kids POP the bubble all the game pieces fly around. Plus the bottom of the game has a pop in piece of cardboard. Shouldn't the bottom be covered with hard plastic??
I also wish there was something to hold all the pieces because my kids (like many others) abuse the box and all of the pieces fall out and get lost.
****Can't the board game makers start making harder cases or Tins so we all don't have a stack of smashed boxes and missing pieces.
The game itself is fun...but I ended up throwing it away because pieces got lost way to fast.
Customer Review: Classic Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
"I sat hunkered over the board. Five years old, and a "Trouble" champion. My brother stared me down. At eight years old, he knew how to intimidate. My glass of chocolate milk quivered in my nervous hands..." --me... circa 1971 or 1972The sheer delight of a simple game will be satisfying as you see your children pop on the plastic bubble to 'toss the dice.' And you'll smile as you know those dice won't be easily lost. Milton Bradley were smart to use such a creative device without losing an ounce of fun.
Easy to learn, keeps a child's attention, and just plain good 'ol fun.
My brother usually beat me. But I went at the game as intensely as Michael Jordan plays basketball.
I fully recommend "Trouble."

Customer Review: a good introductiton to counting and basic game skills
Summary: 5 Stars
I think even young children will enjoy this game. My daughter was under 4 when we started, but she loves the counting aspect of the game. It's great for number recognition skills because you make them say the number on the die outloud as they "roll." The only rule I don't like is that you need a "6" to start. Often that makes the beginning a bit slow if no one gets a 6. Once things get going, it's a lot of fun and easy to play. The thing in the middle is harder to push than it looks, so for very young children, they may not be strong enough to push it. 3-4 year olds should have no problem though and it makes a satisfying pop. A fun and easy game -- avoid if your child still puts small plastic pieces in his mouth though.
