Trouble is a family board game so you might be wondering why a board game is a family tradition? Whenever my grandma is over the whole family gets to getter to play trouble. It could get pretty competitive but its becomes big tradition among our family, and I will go over what it means to me.
How to play trouble
Before learning about the games history, here’s how you play it
Materials
- 1 plastic game unit including a pop-o-magic
- 1 dice roller
- game board
- 16 plastic pegs
- 4 rubber game feet
Objective of Game
The goal of the game is to be the first player to move all 4 of your pieces to the finish line.
Setup
- A game can start with 2-4 people and each player selects 4 pegs of the same color and you put the 4 pieces in the home section.
- The players take turns popping the dice.
-The only ways you can get a peg out of home is by either popping a 6 or another player pops a 1.
-Popping a 6 gets you an extra pop while popping a 1 let’s all other players bring a peg out of home.
- The pegs are moved in a clockwise formation and when you land on a space that another peg is on you can send the enemy’s peg back home.
-There are two special spots to land on the map the xx and warp.
- The xx spot gives you an extra roll if you land on it unless you popped a 6 to get there.
-The warp spot let’s you teleport diagonally to the nearest warp which can either be beneficial or non beneficial.
-Finally once the first player to get all their pegs to the finish line win and the game ends.
