 Trouble (board game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trouble is a simple, Pachisi-like race game in which players compete to be the first to send four markers all the way around a board, using dice to determine how far they move each turn.
As with other games of this type, players can send opponents' pieces back to the start by landing on them, and are protected from capture after arriving in the final few slots.
Unlike more complex race games, however, counters cannot be maneuvered to block opponents' moves.
