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.

Customer Reviews

Fun for everyone!
First of all I want you to know that the review that what jayhawkeye2 wrote is rediculous and that you only do what the cards say. How do you get into a fight with such simple insructions? No, this game isn't slow-moving or boaring or any of that nonsense. Its great for anyone who is learning numbers. My dad and I play it all the time; fun for all ages. My mom's side of the family is really big and when we have reunions we always play and have a great time. Even my teenage cousins enjoy this game with the whole family. A GREAT classic! TOTALY WORTH THE MONEY!!!!! IF I COULD I WOULD GIVE IT 10 THUMBS UP AND 1000000000 STARS!

Great Family Game
I have a five year old and a ten year old and we love to play this game at game night. Teaches counting skills and good sportsmanship. We love yelling "SORRY" (when you get that card).

Good for kids age 4 and up
My husband and I play this game with our 4-year-old twins (a boy and a girl). Before buying this game, we were actually considering buying some of those "non-competitive" games. You know, the ones where you work together to defeat a common enemy? My kids were having a lot of trouble with the concept of losing. I was a bit worried that this game would exacerbate that. However, we found that they actually LOVE this game. We instituted some rules, such as all players must shake hands at the end of every game and say "good game," and other rules enforcing good sportsmanship (e.g. no gloating or teasing). After just a little while of enforcing these rules, they have become second nature and now our kids are free to enjoy any game without feeling devastated if they get bumped back to start or don't win. They know there is always a next time. They really enjoy this game and ask for it often.
