Description provided by Triple S Games on YouTube:

Learn the rules to the board game Trouble quickly and concisely - This video has no distractions, just the rules. Don't own the game? Buy it here: amazon.com - https://amzn.to/49D8DYq amazon.ca - https://amzn.to/3I48QIB amazon.co.uk - https://amzn.to/3HXl5qp amazon.es - https://amzn.to/42DsLYl amazon.de - https://amzn.to/3HZ7HSm amazon.fr - https://amzn.to/49CfzVW amazon.it - https://amzn.to/49ggv2u amazon.nl - https://amzn.to/49CaHAc amazon.com.au - https://amzn.to/49icDxM (As an Amazon Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases) RULES: The object of the game is to get all 4 of your pegs to your finish zone first. Lay out the board and each player picks a color and places the 4 pegs in their matching home zone. The youngest player goes first then play proceeds clockwise. On your turn press down on the pop-o-matic 1 time. If you rolled a 1, every player except for you, moves one of their pegs in their home to their start space. If a player’s start space is blocked by one of their own pegs then they do not move. If you roll a 2 through 5, then move any one of your pegs that is on the outer track, clockwise around the board the indicated number of spaces. If you roll a 6, then you may either move one of your pegs out of your home zone to your start space, or move 1 peg in the outer board clockwise 6 spaces. After picking, you get to take another move and pop again. You only are allowed 1 extra move on any given turn. When you land on a space that is occupied by an opponent’s peg, then send that peg back to its owner’s home zone and take its space. You are not allowed to land on a space occupied by one of your own pegs. If your only available move is to land on your own piece, then you do not move and your turn ends. If you land on a double trouble space, then you take another turn. If you landed there from a 6, then you only take 1 additional turn, not 2. If you land on a warp space, then move your peg to the opposite side of the board, sending an opponent’s peg on either space back to its home. As your pegs approach your finish zone, they move up into it rather than continuing around the board. You don’t have to enter the finish zone by exact count. Once you reach it, place your peg on the farthest available space. The first player to get all 4 of their pegs to their finish zone, wins!

About Trouble, from BoardGameGeek:

This is the game with the Pop-O-Matic dice roller. It's a simplified Pachisi variant in which only one die is rolled per turn. The game is abstract, each player has set of pawns of his color. Each turn player rolls a die using the Pop-O-Matic and selects one of his pawns to move. Pawns can enter the track from Home base only on a roll of six. Each pawn needs to travel around the board and finish on the Finish lane. If pawn of another player is bumped, the bumped pawn is returned to home. The goal is to be the first one to get all the pawns to the Finish lane. For advanced players, we suggest that when a piece gets bumped, it should only be bumped back to its START space, rather than to its HOME. Only when bumped from their START space are pieces sent HOME. Travel Trouble uses the same mechanisms, but is on a smaller board with fewer spaces, so it plays more quickly.
