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.

an old favorite
We played over the holidays. It really opened dialogue with the teenagers who preferred playing to texting. The game can be learned easily and is a great way to pass the time when you're snowed in. The rules are simple, the laughs plentiful. Our youngest who is six even got in on the action.
Great for all ages.
I bought this game for my 6 year old daughter for Christmas and we've played it at least 20 times already. The cards are self explanatory, but I had to demonstrate the '7' where you can split the move between two pawns. She caught on easy enough and loves pulling the SORRY cards.
The only complaint I have about the game itself is the board. It would've been nice if it only had one fold instead of four of them plus the split(for folding into a square instead of a rectangle). It makes the board a little uneven.
fun family game
We bought this game for our 5 year old daughter since she is now very interested in board games ( and we have plenty) and i remember enjoying it when i was younger. She liked it- we all did, Its a fun family game ( although not our favorite) that we will be playing alot.
Sorry Is The Easiest Word
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.
House Rules Make It More Fun!
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.
