Very challenging, a different kind of card game. My family enjoys playing it.

My family and I love this game.I love it because my sister that is 6 can play,and also it's played sort of like uno. The pawn is very funny. I like this better than the board game.

We got this game yesterday and have played it three times already. It's great fun - especially if you like Uno. It's sort of like Uno but with an unpredictable nature to it. The big red pawn can tell a player to pick up 8 cards or more, and yet it's easy to play lots of cards at once.

The only thing we don't like about the game is the "tone" of the pawn. He's supposed to be a little annoying but we find him kind of cheezy. His southern twang can get on your nerves after a while. But aside from that this is a great game.

Don't let the length of the instructions steer you away from this fabulous game. It takes a few rounds before you can play without checking the instructions. But once you get the hang of it, you'll be a fan forever.

My 10 year old got this one for Christmas. What a blast...the best part was when the pawn says "the oldest player goes first" and Grandma started looking around the table..then said OH! This game is really fun , something new everytime..we love it and play it often. We are getting some more as gifts!

We played this game with the family on Christmas eve. We had a BLAST!! There's nothing like a Big Red Pawn laughing at your misery to make your night complete. Lots of laughs and unexpected fun with this game.

Starts off a little complicated to understand the rules for the different cards but once you get the hang of it this game ROCKS!!!

Sorry and Uno are two of our favorite games so I thought Sorry! Revenge would be fun for us to try and I was right. I felt like the directions were a little hard to understand at the beginning but once we read through them a couple of times, we got the hang of the game. It was fun to play and never a dull moment. I also like the fact that all the game pieces fit nicely inside the red pawn for easy storage.

Sorry Revenge is a mix of the traditional Sorry game, and Uno (especially the new variety, Uno Attack). Using Uno-style card play Sorry Card Revenge manages to be playable for any member of the family who can recognize color matching (our six year old plays with no problem). There are elements of the game where players can strategize, but it isn't necessary for younger players as most play is by luck. This is a huge boon to parents who seek a game to play with their kids that isn't as babyish as the traditional Shoots and Ladders style games.

While the cards in this games mimmick Uno cards very closely, the bubble of the original Sorry game is replaced with an electronic pawn as the penalizer. The pawn is a wise-cracking smart aleck that kids love to listen to (and younger ones enjoy pressing even when they are getting penalized). Whether or not the parents like the pawn depends on your tolerance for: smart-aleckyness, being interuppted during game play by cracks like "come oooon!" or "are we, uh, still playin?", and the loudness of the thing, which is pretty high and can't be adjusted.

Overall, as a parent I am mixed on this game. Game play is really great for mixed ages/skill levels. That is rare in a game, and the only reason we've kept this one. Conversely, the pawn is loud, interuppts game play, and makes wise-cracks that I don't find particularly amusing. Get this game only if your tolerance for those things is pretty high. Otherwise, consider Uno Attack, which has very similiar game play without the disadvantages of the pawn.

My daughter received this for her 9th birthday. Once we got through the lengthy instructions, we had a great time playing this game. I highly recommend this game , but I think you need to be at least 8 to be able to keep track of all the instructions. It is alot of fun and my kids love to hear the pawn talk.

If you have played and enjoyed Uno Attack then you will like Sorry Card Revenge, a new addition in the same genre of matching card games. I think this is more fun and enjoyable than Uno Attack. Where Mattel's Uno Attack took a tired (if mildly fun) card game and spiffed it up with a random penalizer, Hasbro has dressed up their Sorry brand with a fun, new card game conceptually based on Sorry, that also has a random penalizer. (This game, featuring a talking, zany, tranluscent Big Red Pawn dishing out the penalties, is quite pleasantly different from the Sorry board game.)

The goal is everyone is trying to deplete the cards in their hands, and do it four times. Each time a player empties their hand they place one of four pawns on a circular mat in front of them--and draw five new cards. Empty your hand four times and you've won. The fun twist here is when someone empties their hand, everyone else keeps going with the cards they already hold. So one has to keep an eye on who is holding how many cards, because the game is never over until its over. Another twist on the usual Uno game mechanic.

The Big Red Pawn is funny (a real kid pleaser) even if a bit annoying at times. Sometimes the jibber jabber gets in the way of just finding out the penalty. Since someone only presses the neck of the pawn when you can't play on a turn, the game can progress while the red pawn stands idle. Red Pawn will fill the silence with an occasional comment to let you know it is waiting. You'll be annoyed a bit if you go to press the Pawn in normal gameplay while it has started a silence-breaking chatter: you have to wait till the chatter is over till you can press down for your possible penalty. Hasbro should have designed such gameplay presses to immediately override the pawn's chatter. And we have found the pawn will turn itself off if it waits too long--either from the game progressing without penalties too long or delays from newcomers who take too long to play while they get used to the new rules.

When it's your turn to play you can play any card from one of the four color suits that matches the suit/color of top card on the discard pile. Or you can play a sequential number , which allows the dominant suit to "change colors." This takes some getting used to when one has been indoctrinated by the Uno rules, which allow a like-numbered card to be played on a same-numbered card of a different color. But the fun thing here with Sorry Revenge is you can play as much a "straight/sequence" out of your hand as you wish--potentially making a hand, full of many cards from penalties, to be emptied out faster.

The basic rules state one can only place sequential cards HIGHER than the top discard. (For example, if a "9" is shown on top discard you MAY play a "10" on it--and even an "11" and "12," and so on, if you have them, regardless of color/suit.) But we've found that the alternative rules are much better for quickening the pace: you can play sequences INCREASING or DECREASING (or both) in number. The basic rule in this regard really slows things down. And as I've stated before, keeping the pace up is good to reduce idle chattering by The Big Red Pawn or worse, having it shut itself off.

And just like Uno there are wild and gameplay adjusting cards. And I think Sorry Revenge's are more fun, even if they reduce strategic play a bit. Play an "11" and you can, if you wish, trade hands with any player. Play a "2" and you can play again. Play a "slide" and you can empty your hand of all cards of a suit in one fell swoop (if you elect). And there are "Sorry" cards to force any other player to press the Big Red Pawn and pay a penalty. The "Safe Zone" wild cards can be played whenever, but they allow the NEXT player to choose the suit. "4s" and "10s" can reverse play order.

All in all a bit more luck-focused than Uno but there is a mild strategy here, if you can allow yourself to have fun long enough to find it. But fun AND VARIETY is the number one component here, so look further if one needs a much more strategic card game. Lastly, remember the random Big Red Pawn does not always penalize you, so getting a "Sorry" dished on you sometimes is the clincher for the win.

This game is a great addition to Hasbro's 2004 Holiday lineup, and should brighten up family gameplay for months (or years) to come--especially those families tired of playing Uno.
