Amazon.com Review
Trouble is a board game with a simple concept: Be the first player to send your four game pieces all the way around the board, moving spaces determined by rolls of the dice. The "trouble" of the title comes when an opponent's piece lands on a space occupied by your piece, thus sending yours back to the beginning. Parents will likely remember the game from their youth, or at least remember the game's signature gimmick, the pop-o-matic dice roller. The Pop-o-matic is a dome-shaped clear plastic housing for the dice in the center of the board game that automatically tumbles the dice when pressed down and released. This feature, plus the board's plastic slots that hold the game pieces in place, make Trouble a perfect travel game--car or boat motion won't upset the game's progress. It is indeed satisfying to press, slap, or pound the pop-o-matic. It's strong enough to withstand the frustration of the losing player(s). The game's simplicity makes it easy to jump into without elaborate explanations or practice games for new players, but it's utter lack of strategy will likely limit interest to just a few rounds. --Porter B.

Need an icebreaker? Want to work out some aggression without shin guards and helmets? Popomatic Trouble, Milton Bradley's classic race-and-chase game, is guaranteed to bring out your competitive side. Try to outstrip your opponents as you race your pawns around the colorful plastic board to safety. Should you have the good fortune to land on a space occupied by another player, you can send him reeling back to start, where he must wait for a six to pop up (literally) on the capricious dice bubble in the center of the board. Once liberated, your foe is free to reciprocate--now you're in Trouble. The crystal ball on which the fates of all rest, a.k.a. the Popomatic Dice Bubble, is the genius behind this game, and is one reason it has become a classic. Encased in its bubble, the die never goes flying, rolls off the table, or gets lost. Simple to learn and exciting to play, Popomatic Trouble is a game that never loses its thrill. Popomatic Trouble is for two to four players. --Julie Ubben

 Love the Game, Hate the Construction June 17, 2010

This is not the Trouble you might remember from childhood. "Chinky" is the word that comes to mind - the bottom is a piece of flimsy cardboard, similar to what is used in cereal boxes. Very disappointing! I'd rather spend a bit more and get a quality product than get this garbage. What a shame.
Not the same quality April 28, 2010

Same fun game just really cheap quality. Thin flimsy plastic board with a paper insert for the boar colors. I suppose the real version would cost a lot more.
 A very good toy for the entire family February 19, 2010
Arshad Mansuri
Used to play with my grandmother around 25 years back. Am very glad that it is still available and it refreshed my memories of the past. My child loves it when the entire family gathers to play around it.
Fun game! January 9, 2010
A. Glynn
This game doesn't really have a high educational value, unless you are teaching your child how to count from 1 to 6. It's just a simple game, with simple rules, that is fun for all ages.
Cheaply made January 6, 2010
Kimberly A. Rinker
Love the game, but from the box to the contents, this is a cheaply made replica of the original. You shouldn't pay more than $4.99 for this version.
