If played outside, keep it on a flat, dry surface and store it back in the box when finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is included in the box, and what do I need to buy separately?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box includes the multicolor gameboard with Pop-O-Matic dome, 16 colored pawns in four colors, the number die, the Power Die, the cardboard shield with plastic stand, four rubber feet, and instructions.

The small colored pawns are not recommended for children under 3 years old, so supervision is advised if a younger sibling is in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow durable is the game, and how should I store it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game is built with a sturdy cardboard base, plastic stand, and rubber feet for stability.

Compared to Sorry, it tends to have shorter games and simpler rules, making it more accessible for younger children. Parcheesi shares similar mechanics but uses a different board layout and lacks the Power Die feature of this modern Trouble edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cozvio","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":44671657345127,"sku":"urz1789989879110","price":12.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/1782\/6663\/files\/hasbro-gaming-trouble-board-game-engaging-group-activity-for-classroom-and-after_1.jpg?v=1789989886","url":"https:\/\/coolerboxes.shop\/products\/hasbro-gaming-trouble-board-game-engaging-group-activity-for-classroom-and-after-school-programs","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
