The game of Aggravation is a marble board game that is suitable for a wide range of ages. The premise is to move all of your marbles from the base position to the home position before the other players do so. Here is a short overview of how to play.

Each player should take four like-colored marbles and place them in the base of that same color. Each time a 1 or a 6 is rolled the player has the option of either moving a marble from the base to the “start” position OR of moving a marble that is already in the “start” position forward. Roll any other number and a “started” marble moves forward. Whenever you roll a 6 you receive another turn. Marbles move across the board the number of spaces pursuant to the number rolled in the direction of the solid arrows.

When moving around the board, you can jump over another player’s marble or you can land on it. By landing on a player’s marble, you “aggravate” it. When a marble is aggravated, it must be returned to the base and continues through the process of rolling a 1 or a 6 to reach the “start” position. You can try to land on a shortcut to help you jump ahead of other players and send you home faster. Remember, to get home you must move the exact die count and not jump over or land on your own marbles in the process.
