My 8 yr old loves playing this game as it is simple but fun.  As others have said, waiting to get a 6 to start can get really frustrating.  The popper is definitely tough to push, even for my 8 yr old and sometimes for me.  You feel like it if you push too hard it might just crack.

Since the game does not cost much and is even cheaper if you get it during the B1G1F promos, it still is a big disappointment as a parent.  I'd like to have a sturdier box that actually had a lid instead of a flimsy one that only opens on the side.  The playing board is a single piece of clear plastic that you place the thin cardboard colored piece under and it is held in place by the 4 rubber feet.  As another reviewer said, I'd rather pay more money and have a better quality game and box.

Nonetheless, my son likes to play it as it doesn't require a lot of thinking.  It has some educational value in helping younger kids learn to count.  However, we tend to like Sorry more than Trouble as it has a little more variety and you don't get stuck for too long waiting to play.
