Toys and Games Reviews of Sorry
Customer Review: Add an element of strategy to the game!
Summary: 5 Stars
For those of you complaining that this game is too simplistic for adults, try playing the adult version! This is the true game and not at all like the simple kids version. The game is described on the Sorry! rules sheet. Instead of the cards being drawn one at a time as in the kid's version, each player is dealt a five card hand. This opens a whole new level of strategy as the game then becomes dependent not so much on the luck of the draw, but how the cards are played! With these rules the game can be played for a lifetime and never grow stale.Customer Review: Fantastic classic game
Summary: 5 Stars
Even my 4-year-old can play this game with ease (albeit with someone older reading the cards until he got familiar with the rules). The skills required to play the game are skills that transfer easily to everyday life...decision-making, strategizing, taking setbacks in stride...plus it's tons of fun! I highly recommend this game to both kids and adults.Customer Review: From the Board Games Editor at BellaOnline.com
Summary: 5 Stars
Sorry is a now-classic game that is derivative of Pachisi, one of the oldest known board games. Players are simply trying to get all of their pieces from their starting place to the end. It's not that simple, though, other players can kick you back to your start (Sorry!) in their own maneuvering to get to their end.
This game has clearly withstood the test of time and will be a favorite in your house for many years to come.
Customer Review: Fun with Counting
Summary: 5 Stars
Sorry has been an excellent game in working with my first and second grade boys as well as my sixth grade girls. The boys can practice counting and reading while everyone has lessons in sportsmanship. Excellent choice!Customer Review: Great fun to play with your kids

Parker Brothers' classic game, Sorry!, is one of those board games that should be in every household. An updated form of the Indian game Parcheesi, Sorry! is a competitive game of revenge where players race to be the first to get all four of their pawns into their "Home" square on the board.
Game play is simple: On a player's turn, he or she draws a card from the middle of the board. The cards are numbered 1-12, and there are also several special "Sorry!" cards. Most of the numbered cards indicate how many spaces forward the player can move one of his pawns, although some cards have special instructions. If a player draws a card numbered 1 or 2, they can move a pawn from Start onto the game board. (A 2 card also allows the players to draw again.) A 4 card indicates that the player must move a pawn backwards four spaces. If a player draws a 7, he has the option of splitting the move between two pawns. An 11 gives the player a chance to switch places with an opponent's pawn. And a Sorry! Card lets the player take a pawn from Start and place it on the same square as an opponent's pawn, bumping the opponent back to Start.
Game play can get very fierce and intense as players race around the board, trying to be the first to get all four pawns Home. If one player's pawn bumps into another player's pawn on the game board, the bumped pawn has to go back to Start-which can make the players really competitive and vengeful.
Sorry! is just one of those games that everyone should have in their closet. It's easy enough for kids to play, but it's fun for grown-ups, too.
