Editorial Review

Grrr! Getting aggravated yet? Aggravation is the classic marble race around a star shape, from base to home sweet home. It's always tempting to take a shortcut, but beware! An opponent might be waiting for just such an opportunity to aggravate. By landing on another player's marble, anyone can send that marble back to its base to start over. And this could be a serious setback, since the object is to get all four marbles back home before the others do. Each player rolls the die and moves a marble around the board, choosing along the way whether to aggravate another player, take a shortcut (or super shortcut!), or just try to quietly slide by (good luck with that approach!). The game includes 24 marbles, 18.5-by-18.5-inch game board, die, and instructions. For two to six players. --Emilie Coulter

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the old classic!, May 2, 2004

This review is from: Aggravation (Toy)

This game is an old standard in my family. I can't remember the last family gathering we had where we didn't play a heated game of Aggravation. However, when I went to buy my own game board, this was all I could find. Not only did they make the board mind-numbing and hard to follow, but they changed the spacing on the board. And as for durability, both the board and the marbles are CHEAP! Parker Brothers should really consider going back to the old version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, it's cheaply made... but it's our favorite game!, July 27, 2004

This review is from: Aggravation (Toy)

We got this game for my daughter's 8th birthday, and it has quickly become our favorite game. In some ways, it's like Sorry, although the board is a bit more tortuous to get around. Also, it allows you to play with 6 players (although we've never played with more than 4).

What I like the best is that this game is completely unpredictable. Yes, you could have the best strategy in the world, and be on the verge of winning, but then the roll of the dice can allow somebody who is much further behind come back and unexpectedly win!

The other great things it the portability of this game. We are about to go on vacation, and all you really need is the board, marbles and dice. It's definitely coming with us. We LOVE this game.
