Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Product Description

Since 1934, players of all ages have been chasing one another around the classic game board, trying to get their own four pawns from Start to Home. But it's not that easy, because you never know what the next card will hold: Will you move forwards or backwards' Will you hit a slide and shoot ahead, or will an opponent bump you back to start' For 2 to 4 players. Contents include: Sorry! game board, deck of cards, and 16 pawns.
Editorial Review

This classic game of luck, strategy, and determination is easy to grasp for children as young as 6 years old, yet it's fun for adults and older siblings too. By drawing cards, players move their game pieces around the board, hoping to eventually accumulate all their pieces at the final destination--home sweet home. Sorry is known as the game of "sweet revenge," since players can send each other's pawns back to the starting line, thus forcing one another to lose ground and begin all over again. This kind of frustration may be hard for children under age 8 to handle. In fact, young ones typically crumble into tears of outrage when their pawns are cavalierly sent back. The only recourse is to teach children how to plot their own revenge, which makes them feel as powerful as superheroes.

A very good classic game that the entire family can enjoy.

It is more advanced than some of the basic children starter games, such as Chutes & Ladders or Candyland, and brings more to the table in terms of getting children to process moves more/helping them learn to think more.

We have spent many hours with this one.

Our game (Not the version sold here) came with some blank cards, presumably in case you lose or damage them. We treat the blank cards as wild cards. You can use them as any card in the deck. This adds a new dimension and even more use of cognitive and mathematical skills.
