   The title is a direct translation of the German name of the game, Mens Argere Dich Nicht. I wonder if the publisher’s German?

   And it looks a lot like Aggravation, the classic version of which can be seen here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/86308.

   But of course they all go back to pachisi.

   And the Finnish version is called Kimble, after Richard Kimble from The Fugitive (because the pieces are running away from each other, obviously!).

   Actually, there was a game called “Don’t Get Mad” . I’m sure Aggravation and Sorry were copied from it. My family has been playing it for years, before those two games came out. The game designer more than likely failed to get a copyright.

   Way back in the early 80s we played the
   board game “Don’t Get Mad” My dad made
   the game, my brother made a replica of it.
   it was played with 4 different colored marbles.
   My children remember it well, now is
   there a similar game on the market?
   We can’t find back the original board
   which my dad made. Brother painted
   4 different colors in the divits. He found back his
   game board and son in law, is wanting to make
   one like the original. Be interested in hearing
   what other people know about this board game.

      My husband is 82 yrs. old and he made a board game we call don’t get mad.
      he was in 7th or 8th grade when he made it.
      four players can play and each one has 4 same color marble.
      it is a very popular game in our family.
