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.

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.

It is a good game to start out with. It teaches children patience and the hones thier ability to think ahead. I wish the still made the old sturdy version. This new version feels and look CHEAP!!

Aggravation:

(1) Is good for the kids.

(2) Is good for developing strategy.

(3) Is good fun for all ages.

But

(4) Is really cheaply made.

(5) Is an old and worn game. It is in serious need of upgrading.

Everyone in the world should have this game. I used to play it all the time as a child, but I then lost the marbles. but otherwise it is a very fun game for the whole family

My daughter got this came for Christmas and it is still fun to play, but the new graphics are very confusing and hard to follow. They want a little overboard in their updating of this one. New colors would have been fine, but all the curves, zig-zags, etc, make this version a poor substitute for the older versions. I'm going to ebay!!

The old game board was better. I am looking for that game board. I guess I'll have to use [...]. They made a mistake with this new funky game board. Still love the game though. Also, I don't like the plastic game peices. I want the old marbles to return!

I have given my points based on the old aggravation game. I wish that I could find the old game which was better made and looked better. If there is such a place that sells this game please notify me ASAP. I will not waste my money on the new and so-called-updated game.

I wish they would make the four player version again. It was a challenging and fun playing with four people. Not everyone likes the six player version. Most families have around four members in the household now a days. I came from a large family and we played both versions and the four is the best. If I could find a four version I would buy it. I won't buy the six player version.

I have had this game since I was 6 years old. I am now 43. And it is alot of fun. And hard to find in the stores where I live. I think if a store carrys other games by this company they should care this one.
