Frustration

This is one my favorite all time games, basically its Ludo with the wow factor, well at the time it was with the dice in a plastic dome, it was kool because you got to take people, and send them back to the start, ouch especially if the were close to finishing, I remember me and a gang of my mates would play this before school meetings at Eggy's house for a quick game or two.

Was it just a deluxe Ludo or did it have any different rules ?

[Oggy]

Nah basically the same, on a plastic board, and still very available today, there were a few games with the 'popamatic' dice, Headaches the other I remember but sure there were more.

Meant the dice didn't get lost...

[Oggy]

Yep, never thought of it like that doh!

[steve edwards]

yes i know exactly what you mean , we had a game of frustration , it was really good i used to play it with mum and dad all the time

[Oggy]

yep, and was great fun when you sent them home, especially if they'd nearly beaten you, not litterally, well just the once maybe......

[Fifi62]

Was Headache the one with the cones, where you could put your cones on top of your opponent's? That sounds familiar.....

[Oggy]

Think so, again, the varriation on a winning formula.

Re: Frustration

We have the original Frustration in the loft - and I'm now reminded just how annoying the racket was from the plastic dome. And I mean RACKET, from a non-player trying to concentrate on other things elsewhere hehe!

Re: Frustration

One of the most competitive games known to mankind!
Loved playing Frustration and winning...Hated losing, especially when I had one piece to get back home and my sister kept on taking it!
The mark of a good game - simple, well worn idea but loads of fun!

I despise this game with every bone in my body because I find it so frustrating.
