Our Take
Frustration is Hasbro's classic pop-and-move race game, first released in the 1960s and still going strong. Players race four counters around the board, aiming to get them all home while sending opponents back to start. Squeezing the iconic Pop-O-Matic bubble to roll the dice remains its defining gimmick. Best suited to families with children aged five and upwards.

Our Verdict
A solid buy for families wanting a fuss-free, recognisable game for younger children who enjoy the tactile pop mechanic. Anyone seeking genuine strategic challenge or longevity should look elsewhere — this is firmly in the nostalgic, occasional-play category rather than a regular games-night staple.
