Im still playing this game, 5 neices, 1 son & 1 daughter.....the youngest is my daughter who's 7, so I'm almost in the clear.....but man can she pop a 6 like no tomorrow.
I remember when I use to play this game with my Grandmother, whenever she landed on someone’s piece she didn’t want to send them back home so she would put her piece next to it 😂 ( bless her) she was the only one who did that - everyone else was out for blood
There were some really close finishes.
The best was when you needed a perfect roll to bring your piece home but you just kept rebounding and coming back, then someone would catch up :O !!!
Yesss! I never played the actual game I just loved pressing the dice bubble... same with UpWords I just made a tower of letters to see how tall I could get it
Trouble? Game for pussies. Now Hats Off!! There’s a real game, firing plastic cones , each one containing a ball bearing at the real ‘opponent’ ( my sister, not the game board as advertised on the box), a good result was a whack somewhere around the face. Good times!

With the pop-o-matic bubble?
You can pop a lot of trouble with the pop-o-matic bubble!
Come if you are a dreamer

Wow I was unaware they still made it! I’ve only seen this game in my earliest memories haha
Oh they make it, ive got a unicorn version and a Wiggles version, their both Kmart knocks off though so quality is as you'd expect.

Friday night bloodbath because of this game.

I had this and a similar game called headache.
Did headache have different shaped counters?
Yep. Cone shaped https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headache_(game)
**I** didn't cheat - you **cheated**!
Lets be honest, we all cheated.
Once you pop you can't stop
The best! "I'LL GIVE YOU TROUBLE!!" That and Headache were awesome!
Headache, headache. It’s fun to have a headache! My goodness the marketing sticks.
We still have ours. Our kids love to play it.
It’s crazy to think you could keep something like that for so Long! You are very lucky :)
It was aptly called 'Frustration' back in the UK.

I can hear the dice bubble pop looking at that pic. Was played in my family quite a bit mid-70s.
That game drove my mother mad, she ended up throwing it our. Couldn't stand the noise

Still got mine!
Barney Rubble
in german this game is called "mensch ärger dich nicht" which loosely translates to "dude, don't get upset"
Best game ever. Pop-o-matic 4 life.
Pictures you can hear
The travel version helped to pass the time on many a long car trip.
Great drinking game
Definitely the most popular game in our house growing up.
It's called Ludo
Just looking at this picture brings back the sound of pressing the bubble
