My 5 year old grandson and I are addicted to this game..We decided to only use one of the pieces instead of the four you normally play with..Then we pop the bubble to get out and work our way around the board. We are popping and moving our pieces so fast, and we are laughing so hard...Then when we get to the end and whoever gets the number they need to win, we start screaming and pulling the board away from each other, and put our hand over the spot we need to put our piece in to win...It has become a race for us...We have so much fun....I am such a great role model...How about you? Do you play now or have you ever played trouble? Share your fun stories...

Hi Feona, I remember the game trouble, we were given one as a christmas present from our parents, wayyyy back in the day. So much fun when it was my sister and i playing. As soon as my brothers stepped in, hello, more trouble.

I was going to say I love that game, then couldn't remember whether it was Trouble or Headache that I played most. Is Trouble the one with the pointy tops or the flat tops? If it's the flat stop pieces, I used to play it most with my dad and brother, and dad was always red, I think it had something to do with the fact he was colour blind. Whether it was the only colour he could really distinguish between, I don't know! Anyway, do you get so excited playing, sometimes your hand just skims off the bubble without pushing it? I think my son would have a lot of fun with it, I might have to buy it again!

Trouble has the flat tops. There are four colors, red, green, yellow, and blue. I have missed the bubble many a times, and we just laugh harder, and louder..my grandson can get like 5, sixes in a row. You can only get out on a 6 or a 1. If you get a 6, you get to go again. It is alot of fun...

Yep, that's the one we used to play most. I think Headache was brought out after Trouble, that had the pointy counters, similar rules (I think, my memory's not so great, lol) and the plastic bubble also. That one was only my brother and I that played. I do remember they are a great laugh!
