The Frustration board game is not here to make friends. It’s here to pop your dice, crush your hopes, and send your pawns back to square one while your opponents laugh in your face.

You race to get all your pieces home, but the board, the bubble, and your so-called friends are working against you. One bad roll can undo ten turns of progress — and if you add the drinking version, that bad roll might also cost you your sobriety.

How to Play Frustration Board Game

Wondering how to play frustration board game like a pro? It’s pretty straightforward but packed with moments that will test your nerve.

1. Get your pieces out with a six

You can only move a piece from the starting area to the board if you roll a six on the Pop-O-Matic dice roller. Press that bubble and hope for a lucky pop!

2. Move according to your roll

Roll the dice, then move one of your pieces the exact number of spaces shown. You can only move pieces already on the board.

3. Send opponents back to start

Land on a space occupied by an opponent’s piece? Congrats — their piece is sent all the way back to their start zone.

4. Exact roll to enter home

To move a piece into your home zone, you need to roll the exact number of spaces left. No sneaky shortcuts here!

5. Be first to get all pieces home

The first player to get all their pegs safely into the home area wins the game — glory and bragging rights included.
