34



Family game night!  I lost big at Trouble.  Could not pop a 6 to get out of home base to save my life!

(Completely photographically unrelated side rant: this is a vintage Trouble game, made in the USA in the 1970s, with righteous pop-o-matic action.  You can still buy Trouble new in stores, but it's totally flimsy.  You have to hold down the floppy cardboard surface with one hand to do a proper pop, which often skitters the lightweight playing pieces out of their holes.   Highly unsatisfying.  Pictured, however, is the Trouble of *my* childhood: sturdy, stable and satisfying.  Accept no substitutes!)
