I don't have a clue why the makers of this game called it "Trouble", but it is very fun and can be addicting.

The game board is set up in a sort of octogonal shape, with a bunch of little holes around the outside so that...

In my opinion, because that is what this is all about, I think Mattel did a great job in translating the hit T.V. show into a board game. By this, I didn't mean that it is the best board game of all, but it...
