(From 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. It is made by Hasbro.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.
The most notable feature of Trouble is the "Pop-o-matic" container: a clear plastic hemisphere over a flexible sheet, holding the two dice. Players "roll" the dice by pressing down quickly on the bubble, which flexes the sheet and throws the dice upward, inside the container. The main advantage of the Popomatic, aside from the oddly pleasing noise it makes, is that the dice cannot be lost.
Rules
In order to start playing, the player must get his pawns out of his jail (nest) with a 6. It is also useful to gain an extra turn.
Pawns can also be eaten in the home square if a player is in jail and he gets out while pawns are on the home square.

A bad workman quarrels with the man who calls him that. A bird in the hand is worth what it will bring. Better late than before anybody has invited you. Example is better than following it. Half a loaf is better than a whole one if there is much else. Think twice before you speak to a friend in need. What is worth doing is worth the trouble of asking somebody to do it.
