If another player's peg is in your START space when you roll a 6 and want to move a peg out of HOME, that player's peg is sent back to HOME and you move your peg into START If your own peg is in your START space when you pop a 6, you cannot bring a new peg out. If your peg lands on a space that already has an opponent's peg in it, the opponent's peg returns to its HOME and must start all over again. If you pop any other number, move one of your pegs already in the playing track. When you pop a 6, you can either move a new peg out to START, or move a peg already in the playing track.

Count each space whether it is empty or full. If only two people are playing, each can play with two sets of pegs if desired. Each player selects 4 pegs of one color and places them in the matching color HOME.

Pop again (remember, you have a free turn for popping a 6) and move the peg in START on the playing track the number of spaces shown on the die.Īlways move your pegs clockwise around the playing track. What are the rules for the game of trouble Setup. Once you pop a 6, move one of your pegs into START. Move, shoot, hide.If you do not pop a 6 on your first turn you cannot move any of your pegs and must wait until your next turn to try again. You shoot at bad guys and you avoid their shots. You can move left and right, so not quite freely (you need Galaxian for that). Lets look at space invaders for a moment. Sure there are different guns and powerups, but the core is move, shoot, hide. You can move to avoid enemies and you can hide behind things to protect yourself. Strip away the look of the game, and concentrate on what you are doing at its core. It is funny really, when you strip games back to core mechanics you begin to see how little things have moved on in some areas. One simple new mechanic and the game changes a great deal. If you lose the genie, have you upset other players enough to try and go for you? Whilst it may be chance that dictates if you have the genie (another mechanic), it is up to you how you play when you have it. If you have pieces in the lead, do you use the fact you are invulnerable to take out other players, or do you still just go for the quick victory. This simple addition gets you thinking about how nice to be to other players. Simple enough mechanic, but one that adds a new layer of emergent gameplay – a new dynamic to the game. When you have the genie you are safe from people landing on you and sending you back to the start. Now there are two dice in the roller, the second one dictating when you get or lose the genie.
However, the new version added a brand new gameplay element – the Genie. There were some tactics involved, which piece do you move, do you sit on your opponents “spawn” point to prevent them getting more pieces on the board, do you land on a spot they are sat on to send them back, that sort of thing. Land on another player and you send them back to their start position. Roll a six and you can put another piece on the board. You roll a dice, in the original using the Popomatic dice roller, now using a little paddle.
The idea of the game is to move your four tokens around the board and into your “home”. It turns out that the game was around when I was a kid (launched around 1965 actually), it just looked different and had been given a new game mechanic since then. If only two people are playing, each can play with two sets of pegs. However, I could not help but think it seemed familiar. Setup Each player selects 4 pegs of one color and places them in the matching color HOME. My daughter had it for her birthday and I must say, it is a great fun game. Enter the board game Frustration (Trouble in America I believe).
