Trouble Board Game

Product Details

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

Product Reviews

(4 stars) - "Trouble" board game
This game was recommended by a friend as being a lot of fun and easy to play.
It's built of high quality materials and should last a long time with constant use.
I am using it as a occupational therapy aid device for a stroke victim with limited verbal communications.
At first I thought the "popper" would be a problem but it is working out as a great exerciser for the upper body!
Easy to set up, easy to follow the rules and a LOT of FUN!!

(5 stars) - Good gift
This was bought for my niece who has only recently moved to live in America.. This was the easiest way to send and pick a gift for her birthday.. Delivery was prompt. I was a little late in orderring it however it arrived very quickly.. Thank you for making gifting my family easier..

(2 stars) - Pieces came deformed, game looks very cheap
After reading some of the great reviews, I got this game as a gift for my step-brother in-law who is five years old. I remember playing this when I was young and I had really enjoyed the popping dice.

The game arrived quickly, but several of the little plastic pieces came misshapen and deformed out of the box. It appeared that the plastic was melted (they are very hard pieces of plastic, so this could not happen easily). The game board also seemed very flimsy and cheap, like it will soon fall apart. It felt too delicate for a child to really play with. I am pretty sure the one I had growing up was a much better quality (it survived four crazy, wild, competitive siblings playing on it for years).

Because of the misshapen pieces only three people can play this game. Altogether a great embarrassment for me, as I am sure it looks like I got my step-brother in-law a gift from a dollar store.

I recommend buying this game from another store with higher standards and easier in store returns; try Kids R Us or Target.

(5 stars) - Jane's Scoop
This is a great children's board game and lots of family fun! I must confess, we "bend" the rules a little when only two of us are playing.....! This way we get to play "lots" more games!

This board game helps with finger dexterity plus it a great beginner counting game. In addition, it teaches patience. I reccoment this game to parents with children 3 and above.

The design of the game board itself could be improved, needs to be sturdier. The plastic bubble that holds the dice is very sturdy.

(4 stars) - Fun with a purpose!
Though I grew up with Trouble and loved it, I now use it in play therapy. It is a great tool for working with kids who have difficulty stopping and thinking before acting.
