About the game

Intense classic game in which players team up to be the first to move their marbles home. Wahoo was a popular American Southwest game in the early to mid-1900's, and is still played today. A simplified version was commercially marketed as Aggravation, with rules similar to Pachisi. A similar version, finally under the Wahoo name, was copyrighted in the 1990's by Traditional Game & Toy Company. However, there are as many variant rule sets and board configurations of Wahoo as there are families playing, many of the variants involving partnerships and deeper strategy.
