In Response To: Anyone remember the game of Trouble? (Michael Petch)

Unfortunately, Hasbro owns the patent (US & international) for the pop-o-matic dice bubble. The "claims" section of their patent is written such that it precludes any other remotely similar product from ever being produced for commercial distribution. Their patent covers any device that uses a die or multiples of dice, any sort of spring action to launch the dice, and any type of enclosure.
