Game Review: You just can't go wrong with any game that includes the fabulous Popomatic dice in the gameboard. Actually I am sure there is a patent on that amazing invention, because I think Trouble is the only game that actually has it. And as a parent who has chased dice across the floor (and fished them out of the dog's mouth more than once), I do appreciate the Popomatic feature! This is just a wonderful, simple, fun game. Move your pieces around the board and try to get them into "home base" before your opponents do. You can send your opponents' pieces back to their home base by landing on them, although of course, turnabout is fair play, and you may find yourself back in homebase just when you were about to get all the way around the board. You simply can't go wrong with this game, and for the price, it's definitely cheap entertainment.
