Kimble is a Finnish licensed version of the board game Trouble in which players compete to be the first to send four pieces all the way around a board. Pieces are moved according to the roll of a die. Kimble is manufactured by Tactic Games Group and currently sold under the Tactic brand.
The game was first introduced in Finland in 1967[1] and is still sold virtually unchanged. The name refers to the hero of the then popular TV show The Fugitive, and it was marketed as the "Finnish pursuit game". The game has been highly popular in Finland for its whole existence. Tens of thousands of Kimble games are sold every year, and by 2003 nearly a million copies were sold.[2]
