Product Description
Pop into the racing, chasing game where everyone's in Trouble! Set up your pegs and then hit the Pop-O-Matic die roller. Depending on what you roll, you can move your pegs to the Start space, move your pegs forward – or watch other players move while you can't! Each of your pegs has to go all the way around the board to the Finish space, but watch out – if another player's peg lands on the same space as yours, your peg has to start over. The player who gets all 4 pegs into the Finish space wins! Pop all around the board for the win when you play Trouble!

Same great game - but very cheaply made
By DJA
This is an updated version of the classic game Trouble. It has some extra gimicks to it, but the game play is essentially the same as always. I loved the game as a kid and was excited that my oldest was ready to play it too.
However, Hasbro has really cheaped out in how they're producing the board to the point of making it almost disposable. The game consists of a plastic board with a paper overlay (yes, paper not even card stock) for the board which the pegs fit through. The paper board overlay is, well, thin paper. Mine came already ripped/crumpled in one corner, so was returned. The board is fairly thin plastic, though the pop-o-matic bubble seems to be of reasonable quality (actually hard for a little kid to press). However, since the pieces sit on top of pegs (instead of in cups as in older releases), any time the board is bumped or jostled the pieces are likely to fall out.
So still a good game... but if you can find the older boards, it's probably a better bet to go for one of them. I'm planning on buying one of those (still available on Amazon) to replace mine.
Cheaply made

I work with children and they have always enjoyed playing the game of trouble. After numerous uses I have had to purchase the game again due to missing rubber "feet," and other signs of aging. My most recent purchase was disappointing because unlike previous games where the game board was UNDER the plastic, this game board was NOT protected in anyway, but placed on top of the plastic. I would have returned it but it was not worth the expense of sending it back. I had the game board, a cheap flimsy board, laminated and cut the holes out in order to place it over the base. I will not buy it again.
small and flimsy

I suppose for the money, i should give it an additional star because you get what you pay for and what you get with this is a very cheap version of the game I remember loving as a child. My daughter liked the game, but it's so small and flimsy, I don't see it lasting very long.
