Rules, instructions & winning strategies, trouble: the classic board game of strategy and chance, introduction.

I have enjoyed countless games of Trouble over the years (known as Frustration in the UK and Kimble in Finland). It’s an easy game, with simple rules, that encourages a little bit of competition and friendly frustration. Trouble is a classic board game that has been enjoyed by other families across the world for generations. It is a game of strategy and chance, where players move their pieces around the board, trying to get all of their pieces home before their opponents. The game was first introduced in the United States by the Kohner Brothers in 1965 and has since become a staple in many households.

travel frustration board game

The game is played on a board with a pop-o-matic dice roller (always a fan favorite) in the center. Each player has four pieces of their color that they move around the board. The goal of the game is to be the first player to get all four of their pieces into their home spaces. The game is simple to learn, but can be challenging to win, making it a great game for players of all ages.

One quick tip for winning at Trouble is to always keep an eye on your opponents’ pieces. If you see an opportunity to send an opponent’s piece back to the start, take it. This can slow down your opponents and give you an advantage.

  • Rules for Playing Trouble
  • Each player chooses a set of four pieces of the same color and places them in their matching color home base.
  • Players take turns pressing the pop-o-matic dice roller and moving their pieces around the board. The number rolled determines how many spaces a player can move one of their pieces.
  • If a player rolls a 6, they can either move a piece out of their home base onto the start space, or move a piece already on the board six spaces. After rolling a 6, the player gets another turn.
  • If a player’s piece lands on a space occupied by an opponent’s piece, the opponent’s piece is sent back to their home base.
  • The first player to get all four of their pieces into their home spaces wins the game.

These are the official rules for Trouble, but many people play with their own house rules . For example, some people play that a player must roll a 6 to move a piece out of their home base, while others allow any roll to move a piece out.

How to Play Trouble

Trouble is an easy game to play for kids ages 5 and up. Start by having each player selecting a peg color. For instance, blue, then place the blue peg on the blue starting space. Activate the pop-o-matic dice roller by giving it a push. If you get a 4, that means you can move your peg 4 spots. For kids, it’s good to count out the spaces as you move: 1, 2, 3, 4. Then it’s the next player’s turn to pop the dice and move.

At the start of the game, each player chooses a peg color and places their four pieces in their matching color home base. The youngest player goes first.

Players take turns pressing the pop-o-matic dice roller and moving their pieces around the board. The number rolled determines how many spaces a player can move one of their pieces toward the center. If a player’s piece lands on a space occupied by an opponent’s piece, the opponent’s piece is sent back to their home base.

  • End of the Game

The game ends when one player gets all four of their pieces into their home spaces. That player is the winner of the game.

  • How to Win at Trouble

Winning at Trouble requires a combination of strategy and luck, plus a bit of persistence. Here are some strategies that can help you win:

  • Try to get all of your pieces out of your home base as quickly as possible. This gives you more options for movement and makes it harder for your opponents to send your pieces back to the start.
  • Always be aware of your opponents’ pieces. If you see an opportunity to send an opponent’s piece back to the start, take it. This can slow down your opponents and give you an advantage.
  • Try to spread out your pieces on the board. This makes it harder for your opponents to send your pieces back to the start and gives you more options for movement.
  • Remember that the game is not over until one player gets all of their pieces into their home spaces. Even if you are behind, keep playing and try to make the best moves possible. You never know when luck will turn in your favor.
  • Best Strategies for Playing Trouble

While Trouble is a game of chance, there are still strategies that can increase your chances of winning. Here are some of the best strategies for playing Trouble:

  • Spreading out your pieces on the board reduces the changes of your opponents sending your pieces back to the start and gives you more options for movement.
  • Try to get your pieces out of your home base as quickly as possible. The more pieces you have on the board, the more options you have for movement.
  • If you can send an opponent’s piece back to the start, do it. Slowing down your opponents is often more valuable (and more fun, of course) than advancing your own pieces.
  • Don’t give up if you are behind. The game is not over until one player gets all of their pieces into their home spaces. Keep playing and try to make the best moves possible.
  • Scenarios for Trouble

There are many different scenarios that can occur in a game of Trouble. Here are some common scenarios and how to handle them:

  • If you have a piece that is close to your home spaces and you roll a number that is too high to move that piece into your home spaces, consider moving a different piece instead. This can help you avoid getting stuck and allow you to continue moving your pieces around the board.
  • If an opponent has a piece that is close to their home spaces, try to send that piece back to the start if you can. This can slow down your opponent and give you an advantage.
  • If you have multiple pieces on the board and you roll a 6, consider moving a piece that is further away from your home spaces. This can help you spread out your pieces and make it harder for your opponents to send your pieces back to the start.
  • If you are behind and it seems like one of your opponents is about to win, don’t give up. Keep playing and try to make the best moves possible. You never know when luck will turn in your favor.
  • Frequently Asked Questions about Playing Trouble
  • What happens if I roll a number that is too high to move a piece into my home spaces? If you roll a number that is too high to move a piece into your home spaces, you cannot move that piece. You can either move a different piece or lose your turn.
  • Can I move a piece out of my home base if I roll a number other than 6? According to the official rules, you can move a piece out of your home base if you roll any number. However, some people play with a house rule that you must roll a 6 to move a piece out of your home base.
  • What happens if I land on a space occupied by my own piece? If you land on a space occupied by your own piece, nothing happens. You cannot send your own pieces back to the start.
  • Can I move my pieces backwards? No, you cannot move your pieces backwards. Pieces must always move forward around the board.
  • What happens if I roll a 6? If you roll a 6, you can either move a piece out of your home base onto the start space, or move a piece already on the board six spaces. After rolling a 6, you get another turn.

The 13 Best Travel Board Games You Can Play Anywhere (Even on a Plane)

travel frustration board game

If you buy something using our links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Thanks for your support!

When you're stuck in a plane, train, or even the backseat of a car, you need a way to kill time... and board games are great for that!

Of course, mobile games are more convenient—unless you're like me and prone to motion sickness. Plus, these days I much prefer the tactile experience of cards and pieces, and we could all stand to spend less time staring at digital screens.

So, I think everyone should have at least one portable board game or card game that they can take with them while traveling!

What makes a great travel board game?

  • Small box. When you're traveling, space is at a premium. Carrying the game around shouldn't be a nuisance and it should fit comfortably inside a carry-on bag. If the entire game can fit inside your pocket, that's as good as it gets!
  • Minimal footprint. It can't take up too much table space. (Ideally, no table space at all!) Plus, it should have very few components. Not only are game pieces hard to handle while traveling, they're easy to accidentally bump off and lose forever.
  • Length and replayability. Whether your flight is 1 hour or 12 hours, the game should keep you engaged and help make time fly by. But it should also be under an hour per game so you aren't forced to cut it short if it happens to run too long.

Here are my picks for the best travel board games that are tiny, portable, and able to be played pretty much anywhere!

Note: You'll notice a distinct lack of Button Shy games on this list. While Button Shy games are famously tiny—each game is only 18 cards—they tend to take up a lot of table space. I've yet to find one that can comfortably play on an airplane tray.

13. The Mind

travel frustration board game

Designed by Wolfgang Warsch

Supports 2 to 4 players

About 15 to 20 minutes

The Mind is a cooperative card game where everyone has their own hand of cards—from a deck numbered 1 through 100—and the goal is to play all cards in ascending order... without ANY communication.

With larger starting hands, the game gets more difficult. You start on Level 1 with one card each, then Level 2 with two cards each, up to whatever Level you can reach. Or you can just play (and replay) it on whatever Level you want to see how often you can win.

The Mind is a great card game for planes because it's mainly held in your hands (all cards played to a single pile) and the no-communication rule is a good fit when you're stuck in a loud plane with others around you.

travel frustration board game

Designed by Mark Tuck

Supports 1 player

About 5 to 15 minutes

Grove is a brilliant solo puzzle-style card game that only consists of 18 cards and 15 dice that are used as point trackers.

The cards are basically tiles, which you place by overlapping previously played cards. When you overlap trees of the same color, you increase the value of those trees (which are tracked using the dice).

How bountiful will your grove be? Grove is a beat-your-own-score type game with a lot of replayability. The backs of each card have different victory conditions for variety.

Each game of Grove is relatively short but punchy, and it's a fantastic game to play while traveling.

11. Timeline

travel frustration board game

Designed by Frédéric Henry

Supports 2 to 8 players

Timeline is a compact card game about figuring out where different events belong on a timeline.

Players have a hand of cards that each depict a specific event. Cards are played to a shared timeline and on each turn you have to place one card into the timeline. If it's not placed correctly, you draw another card. Otherwise, first to get rid of their cards wins!

Timeline is less about knowing the exact years when things happened and more about logically reasoning when things happened in relation to events already in the timeline. It's fun even if you know zero history!

Note: Timeline comes in several themed packs, which can be mixed and matched for more variety and difficulty. In addition to Timeline Inventions , there's also:

  • Timeline Classic
  • Timeline Events
  • Timeline British History

Similo is a deduction game where one player is trying to get everyone else to guess the right character from a grid of twelve.

On each turn, the active player plays a card and marks it as either SIMILAR or DIFFERENT. Based on that, the other players have to eliminate characters from the grid. If the correct character remains at the end, everyone shares victory!

Similo is like a better, more compact, and more fun Guess Who . The grid is randomized every time so there's replayability, plus the discussions that arise during elimination can be surprisingly funny.

Note: Similo comes in several themed packs, which can be mixed and matched for more variety and difficulty. In addition to Similo History , there's also:

  • Similo Myths
  • Similo Fables
  • Similo Animals
  • Similo Wild Animals
  • Similo Harry Potter

travel frustration board game

9. Hive Pocket

travel frustration board game

Designed by John Yianni

Supports 2 players

About 20 to 40 minutes

Hive is one of the best head-to-head two-player board games if you want a pure abstract strategy game—and Hive Pocket is the portable travel edition that you can take anywhere.

There's no board in Hive ; the pieces ARE the board! As you place pieces and move them around, they dictate where future pieces can be placed and moved to. Each insect type has its own rules for how to move.

Hive Pocket has a tiny footprint and the tiles are made of durable plastic resin that's satisfying to play with. Moreover, Hive Pocket comes with two expansion insects already included!

travel frustration board game

Designed by Kei Kajino

Supports 2 to 5 players

Scout is a ladder-climbing card-shedding game in the style of Crazy Eights or Chinese Poker , but it has a few twists that take it to the next level and make it one of the best in the genre.

First, you can't re-order your hand once it's dealt. Second, when you play cards, you collect the cards played by the previous player. Third, if you can't play any cards, you "scout" by taking a card from the previous player and adding it to your hand—and they earn a point.

When someone empties their hand, the round ends. Each player scores a point for each card they collected plus any scout points they earned.

Scout is a simple but deep card game that feels like an old-school card game but plays like a modern classic. It's the perfect travel card game for families who want something a little meatier.

7. The Crew: Mission Deep Sea

travel frustration board game

Designed by Thomas Sing

The Crew: Mission Deep Sea is a cooperative trick-taking card game—a lot like Euchre or Hearts , except everyone is trying to accomplish certain tasks and helping others to achieve their tasks.

Examples of tasks in this game: "Win exactly 2 Blue cards" or "Win only the last trick" or "Win at least 1 card of each color." There are nearly 100 task cards and a random set is chosen every game.

The hard part is, there's no communication allowed! Except using the one-time communication token. With that token, you can reveal one card and mark it as either your HIGHEST of that color, your LOWEST of that color, or your ONLY card of that color.

Trick-taking card games have been a staple of societies for centuries, but the cooperative twist in The Crew: Mission Deep Sea makes it one of the best of its kind. It's so addictive!

6. Zombie Dice: Horde Edition

travel frustration board game

Designed by Steve Jackson

Supports 2 to 100 players

About 10 to 20 minutes

Want to play a travel board game that's literally nothing but a set of 13 custom dice? Then Zombie Dice is your jam. ( Zombie Dice: Horde Edition includes the base game plus both expansions!)

In Zombie Dice , you're rolling and re-rolling three dice at a time, trying to score as many Brains as you can on your turn. Dice with Footsteps can be re-rolled, but dice with Shotguns can't—and if you ever have three Shotguns showing, you lose all the Brains from that round.

This is one of the purest push-your-luck games in existence, and it's so compact that you can play anywhere. Just make sure to roll inside the box cover to minimize the risk of losing any dice!

travel frustration board game

Designed by Steffen Benndorf

Qwixx is what's known as a "roll and write" game: you roll dice, then use the results to write on your score pad.

In Qwixx , you're trying to fill out blocks 2 to 12 for each of four colors. The thing is, once you fill in a block, you can no longer fill any blocks to the left of that block for that particular color.

Once a player has five blocks filled in a color, they can choose to lock that color (no one else can fill that color anymore). Once two colors are locked, the game ends. The more blocks you've filled, the more points!

Ultimately, this game is a balancing act between smart decisions and pushing your luck. Qwixx packs a ton of fun into such a small box, and it's so easy to play anywhere—even on a plane.

travel frustration board game

4. Love Letter

travel frustration board game

Designed by Seiji Kanai

About 15 to 30 minutes

Love Letter is one of the best portable card games of all time. It consists of a deck of 16 cards numbered from 1 to 8, with higher-value cards rarer than the lower-value cards.

This is a game of deduction and hand management. Each player starts with 1 card and the entire game is played like so: draw a card, play a card. The winner is whoever has the highest-value card in hand at the end.

But here's the twist: each card also has a special ability that triggers when played. One lets you peek at another's hand, another lets you trade hands, another lets you name a player and a card—if they're holding that card, they get eliminated from the round.

A round of Love Letter plays in just a few minutes, and whoever is first to win a predetermined number of rounds wins the game.

travel frustration board game

3. Fantasy Realms

travel frustration board game

Designed by Bruce Glassco

Supports 2 to 6 players

Fantasy Realms is my ultimate choice for portable card game. It's easy to learn and compact in size, with tons of gameplay packed in.

The game consists of a deck of 53 cards: 10 suits of 5 cards each, plus 3 wild cards. Each card has a base point value as well as a scoring mechanism that grants extra points (or loses points) depending on what other cards you have in your hand.

Players start with a hand of 7 cards, then turns are as a simple as drawing a card and discarding a card. Your hand at the end of the game determines your score and highest score wins.

Fantasy Realms can be taken anywhere and plays quickly. Every game is different as you try to figure out the best way to manage your own hand, and you can kill so much time without getting bored.

Note: Scoring can be unwieldy in Fantasy Realms , but the scoring companion app makes it much easier—just pick the cards in your hand and it'll spit out your score.

travel frustration board game

2. Palm Island

travel frustration board game

Designed by Jon Mietling

Supports 1 to 2 players

There's one thing about Palm Island that makes it so perfect as a travel card game: it can play entirely in the palm of your hand. You don't even need a table or a lap! No other game is this portable.

Palm Island consists of 17 double-sided cards, with each side split into top and bottom halves. You'll go through the deck several times, tapping cards into resources then spending resources to upgrade cards (i.e. rotating and flipping them to their better actions).

It's a simple but thinky solo game that's played in a beat-your-own-score manner, so there's plenty of replayability.

But the key feature of Palm Island truly is its portability. Hand-only games are exceedingly rare and very few of them are worth playing long-term. Palm Island is the best of its kind.

travel frustration board game

1. Dungeons, Dice & Danger

travel frustration board game

Designed by Richard Garfield

Supports 1 to 4 players

About 45 to 60 minutes

Dungeons, Dice & Danger is the meatiest experience you'll find for a game that's nothing more than a sheet of paper, a pencil, and five dice. You can really play it anywhere and lose yourself in it.

On your turn, you roll the four white dice and split the results into two pairs. Then, everyone uses those two pairs to mark off rooms on their personal dungeon sheet. (The active roller can also use the fifth black die to substitute one of the whites, but no one else can.)

You can only mark rooms that are adjacent to rooms you've already visited, and if you have no rooms to mark on a turn, you lose health which will reduce your score at the end.

You'll also be finding gems, looting treasure, unlocking special actions, and fighting monsters for more ways to earn points.

It's both surprising and impressive to get this much game out of just five dice. If you're going to be traveling a lot—especially on planes—I highly recommend Dungeons, Dice & Danger above all else.

Mastering Frustration: A Game Guide

There’s no denying the allure of a good game of Frustration – a bewitching mix of strategy, chance, and sometimes, well, frustration! It’s a game that can make you think, it can make you laugh, it can make you groan, but, all in all, it’s a game that can make you have the time of your life. This guide aims to not only initiate the uninitiated into the thrilling world of Frustration but also to shine new light on the game for those already acquainted with its charms. After all, every game of Frustration, much like life itself, is a journey – unpredictable, challenging, rewarding.

Table of Contents

Understanding the Game

Understanding frustration: the basics.

Frustration, also known as Trouble, is a popular board game that fits into the category of strategy games. The essence lies in maneuvering your pieces around the board faster than your competitors. The game involves an element of luck, brought in by dice rolls, but strategic decision-making is key.

The game set typically consists of a game board featuring a track with 28 spaces, 16 playing pegs (four each of four colors: red, green, blue, and yellow), and a die contained in a “pop-o-matic” dice roller in the center. The “pop-o-matic” case ensures the die cannot get lost and rolls fairly. The number that shows up after you pop the die determines the number of spaces your peg moves. Each player starts with all four pegs at their home base, which is represented by a color corresponding to the peg’s color.

Objectives of Frustration

The primary goal in Frustration is simple: be the first player to get all four of your colored pegs completely around the board, and into your “Finish” line. It sounds simple, but the unfolding dynamics of the game can be anything but predictable, as the name “Frustration” implies.

Setting Up the Game

For setting up the game, each player chooses a color and places their four pegs on their corresponding color home space. The game typically allows for two to four players . To decide who goes first, each player pops the die. The player rolling the highest number starts the game.

Understanding the Moves

To exit the home base and enter the playing track, you must pop a 6. Once on the track, you roll again and move your peg according to the die number.

Popping a 6 not only helps your peg to exit home base, but also gives you an extra turn. However, if there are no pegs left in your home space and you pop a 6, you don’t get an extra turn.

While you strive to move your pieces around the board, if another player’s peg lands on the same space as yours, your peg must return to home. This feature is what brings an element of “frustration” into play.

Once a peg has moved around the entire board, it enters the four-space “Finish” line. Only exact rolls can move a peg into or along this line.

How the Game Ends

The game of Frustration ends when a player successfully gets all four of their pegs entirely around the board and into their color-coded “Finish” line. The game methodology ensures an unpredictable game every time you play, testing your patience and strategic skills to the fullest.

Now, gather your family or friends, set up the board, and let the fun (and Frustration) begin!

Strategies and Tactics

Understanding the game: frustration.

Before diving into the strategies and tactics, it’s crucial to understand the game, Frustration. This game is generally played with 2 to 6 players using a specialized game board and a standard deck of cards. The objective of the game is to move your four pegs from the starting position, around the board, and into your home area. The first player to achieve this wins the game.

Strategy #1: Planning Your Moves

In playing the game Frustration, you need to plan your moves carefully. Always be observant of the cards you have in your hands and plan your actions accordingly. Your actions should be in harmony with your cards, the position of your pegs, and the potential moves of your opponents.

Since your movement predominately depends on the cards in your possession, always survey your hand. For instance, a 10 card allows you to move a peg ten spaces ahead but also offers the option to move one peg back a single space. Use this to your advantage by blocking an opponent’s progress or securing a safer placement for your own peg.

Strategy #2: Dealing with Obstacles

Frustration is a game that involves chance and foresight. It’s important to keep a vigilant eye on other players’ movements and anticipate potential threats. If an opponent’s peg is close to yours, it’s best to relocate your peg, if possible, to avoid being bumped.

Also, make use of blockades. This technique involves placing two of your pegs on the same space, blocking any opponent from passing by that junction. This method can easily turn the tides of the game in your favor.

Strategy #3: Deciding Wisely

Making sound decisions is vital in the game of Frustration because you aren’t just looking to advance your pieces; you’re also trying to frustrate your opponents and prevent them from progressing. Use your cards wisely, choosing which peg to move and when.

Bear in mind the power of the ‘1’ and ‘2’ cards. These are the only cards that can move a peg out of the starting area, so be patient if you’re short of these cards at the beginning of the game. They may come along when you least expect!

And remember, sometimes a slower but steadier pace might win over a risky fast-forward.

Conclusion: Playing Frustration Intelligently

Ultimately, learning how to play Frustration requires practice and observation. The more you play, the better you will understand the dynamics of the game and how best to execute your strategies. Keep your focus, stay attentive and adopt intelligent strategies to beat your opponents and master this game. Happy playing!

Practice Games

Overview: unleashing the fun with frustration.

“Frustration” is a captivating and engaging board game that can be played by two to four players. The game is a race to see who can move their pegs around the board and into ‘home’ first, which may sound straightforward, but can actually be quite challenging – and hence the name, “frustration.”

To begin, each player chooses a color and places all four of their colored pegs in the matching colored ‘base’. The youngest player usually starts the game by popping the dome to roll the die. The goal of the game is to move all your pegs around the board and into your ‘home’ before the other players.

Steps to Play the Game: Frustration Unleashed

  • To start, you must pop a 6. When you pop a 6, move one of your pegs from your ‘base’ to your ‘start’ position. You also get an additional turn.
  • On your turn, pop the dome to roll the die. The number that turns up is the number of spaces you must move one of your pegs.
  • As you move your pegs around the track, if you pop a number that exactly lands you on a space occupied by another player’s peg, that player’s peg is ‘frustrated’ and has to return to its ‘base’.
  • When a peg has moved completely around the board, it enters the ‘home’ track (the path leading to the ‘home’ area). Only exact pops can move a peg towards home.
  • The first player to get all four of their pegs into the ‘home’ position wins the game.

Time for Practice

Now that you understand the rules of the game, here’s how to put that knowledge into practice.

  • Allocate a specific time to play Frustration. This could be during family game night or a get-together with friends.
  • Set up the board as per instructions and play several practice games. This will assist you in understanding the nuances of the game and perfecting your strategies.
  • Engage with different numbers of players. Try playing the game in pairs or with three or four players. Each game format will offer a unique learning experience.
  • Remember, Frustration involves a certain amount of luck (given the use of a die), but strategic thinking and planning also play a key role. Analyze every move and plan a few steps ahead to maximize your competitive edge.

By practicing these steps, you’ll not only improve your skills and understanding of the game but also add a fun element to your free time. Keep playing and watch as your frustration turns into superb gaming prowess.

Whether you’re a novice setting foot into the world of Frustration for the very first time, or a seasoned player aiming to sharpen your strategic skills further, this guide strives to serve you riches. We have delved into each facet of the game, from comprehending the rudiments to mastering advanced tactics. Just remember, while the objective of Frustration is to win, it’s equally about the journey. It’s about the nerve-racking uncertainties, the dramatic twists, the triumphant comebacks.

A: Yes, Frustration is generally suitable for players of all ages. Its simple rules and exciting gameplay make it enjoyable for both children and adults. However, younger players may require assistance or modified rules to accommodate their skill level.

A: Yes, Frustration is commercially available. It can be found in toy stores, game shops, and online retailers. Check local retailers or reputable online platforms to purchase a copy of the game.

A: While the classic Frustration game remains popular, there might be variations or reimagined versions available. It’s worth exploring game stores or online platforms to discover any spin-offs or themed editions based on the original Frustration game.

A: Frustration is primarily designed for multiple players, and it may not provide a satisfying solo gaming experience. However, creative players can adapt the rules or create their own solitaire-style gameplay using multiple colors of pegs.

16. Mattel Games UNO: Classic Tin Box

[amazon box=”‎B074G1R4N4″ template=”horizontal” description_items=1]  

The objective is to surround your opponent’s queen while keeping your queen safe. Anyone that surrounds their opponent’s queen first is the winner. 

18. Blokus Game  

Blokus is an exciting game that needs a strategy to win. The game requires only two players and can be enjoyed both at home and on the move. The rules are pretty easy to learn. Each player has to take turns to place their 21 pieces on the board to ensure that each piece touches another piece of similar colour – but it has to be at the corners. 

You can protect your territory by blocking your opponent’s moves at every turn to win. The game is made with wipeable, sturdy materials, making it perfect for road trips. 

19. Yahtzee

Yahtzee is one of the most timeless classic games, and for good reason – it’s portable, fun, and relies on a healthy dose of chance and skill!

In case you’re unfamiliar with the rules, Yahtzee is a game where the goal is to win the highest number of points by rolling three dice up to three times. Certain dice can be locked into place for the second and third rolls, so it’s important to plan your strategy accordingly.

This game’s player count is flexible depending on how many dice you have, and the best part is that it can be played online or physically. So if you’re stuck in the car and worried about little game pieces getting lost in the crevices, give the digital version of this game a try!

20. Solitaire

If you’re worn out and need to keep the kids quiet, why not have them try a game they can play by themselves?

That’s right – solitaire is the perfect game to try if you need that extra beauty rest on the road. The physical version of this game can be messy, what with all the cards and the order they need to be laid out in, but there are plenty of digital versions available.

Product Description

Frustration Board Game, Race to Base and Chasing Board Game

Game Description:

  • In this exciting board game, each player starts with four pieces of the same color and places them in their respective starting positions. The dice is located in the middle of the board under a protective cover. Pressing the cover makes the dice rotate, adding an element of anticipation and surprise to the game.
  • To determine who goes first, each player takes turns popping the dice. The player who pops the highest number "6" gets the first turn. When a player pops a "6," they can move one of their chess pieces out of the starting position and advance it onto the board. However, if their piece overlaps with another player's piece, it gets kicked back to the starting position.
  • Players must move their chess pieces clockwise around the board, following the designated paths. If a player's chess piece lands on a square already occupied by another chess piece of the same color, they get to roll the dice again for another turn. This adds an element of strategy and luck to the game.
  • As the chess pieces progress and reach the main path area, they become more protected and cannot be moved by opponents. To enter the main path, players must roll the exact number required. The first player to successfully send all of their pieces into the main path wins the game.
  • Enjoy hours of fun and friendly competition with this engaging and strategic board game.
