Instructions for Playing the Board Game Sorry

Sorry! is a classic board game where you take revenge on other players to win. The game requires two to four players and is won when you get all four of your pawn pieces into the finish zone. Players perform actions based on the cards they draw, either moving their pawns or knocking another player's pawn pieces back to his starting zone, hence the name Sorry!

Instructions

- 1
  Select a color and place that color's pawn pieces on the same color start zone.
- 2
  Shuffle the Sorry! card deck and place it on the "Place Pack Here" spot on the game board. Players will draw cards from the top of this deck.
- 3
  Draw a card from the deck and move the designated number of spaces on the card. You must draw a '1' or '2' to move out of the start zone. If a player can move a pawn, he must, but if there is no move available, you forfeit your turn.
- 4
  Knock your opponent's pawn back to his start zone if you land on the same space. Land on the exact start of a different color slide, the spot with a triangle, and go to the end of that slide and knock any pawn pieces, even your own, back to the start zone. This does not work with slides the same color as yours.
- 5
  Draw one card for each round. You may move any pawn piece whenever you draw a card; you can have multiple pawns on the board at once.
- 6
  Move around the board from your start zone to the safety zone. Pawns in the safety zone cannot be knocked back to the start by any other player. However, you can move your pawns out of this zone and back in on your next turn. You must get the exact number of spaces needed to move a pawn into the finish zone.
- 7
  Draw a card to move your pawn from the safety zone into the finish zone. You must get all four of your pawn pieces into this zone to win. If you draw a card that does have the exact number to get to the finish zone, you cannot move forward.
