Hasbro Gaming Sorry! Game, Ages 6 And Up, For 2 To 4 Players

Product Information

The board game is laid out in a square with 16 spaces per side, with each player assigned their own coloured Start location and Home locations offset towards the centre, one per side. Four five-square paths, one per colour, lead from the common outer path towards a player's Home and are designated their "Safety Zone". On each side are two "Slides", grouping four or five spaces each.

The 7 can be split; it is often possible to do so such that one of the pieces ends up on a slide, thus increasing the value of this card. It also provides an additional opportunity for pawns to get Home, so long as there's another pawn on the board to use up the remaining spaces.Search for a trade mark – Intellectual Property Office".

Either move a pawn from Start or move a pawn one space forward. (In the 2013 edition, the player may also " move ice" before doing so.) Sorry! has been entertaining children and adults alike for many years now. It was an Englishman, William Henry Storey, who invented the game originally; he patented it in the UK in 1929 before doing the same in the US and Canada. Storey’s company W.H. Storey & Co. began manufacturing it in the UK; with board game publisher Waddingtons selling it; Parker Brothers bought the US rights and sold it there, before they (and the rights to the game) were taken over by Hasbro in 1991.Wild Pawn – The player may take any color pawn from the Start base or waiting areas (not the Home section of another player) and keep it.
