How to Play the Sorry Game
Hey there! So you’re interested in learning how to play the Sorry game, huh? Well, you’ve come to the right place! I’m here to give you a rundown of the rules, so let’s get started.
In the Sorry game, the goal is simple: be the first player to get all of your pawns from the start to your Home. Exciting, right? Here’s how it works:
- Set up the game: Place the game board in the center of the playing area, with each player choosing a color and putting their four pawns on the matching colored Start space.
- Take turns: To start the game, each player takes turns drawing a card from the deck. The card will determine how many spaces you can move one of your pawns. But be careful, because some cards can also be used to send an opponent’s pawn back to their Start!
- Move your pawns: Use the card you drew to move one of your pawns forward. Follow the arrows on the game board to figure out the path you can take. If you land on a space occupied by an opponent’s pawn, you get to send that pawn back to its Start. Sorry, not sorry!
- Slide and switch: If you land on a slide space, you get to slide ahead, skipping some spaces. And if you land on a triangle space with your own pawn, you can switch places with an opponent’s pawn.
- Get to Home: Keep moving your pawns until you reach your Home space. Once a pawn is in its Home, it’s safe from being sent back. The first player to get all four of their pawns to Home wins the game!
So there you have it! The Sorry game rules in a nutshell. Now it’s time to gather your friends or family, set up the game, and start having some Sorry-filled fun. Remember, it’s all about luck and strategy, so make your moves wisely. Good luck, and may the best pawn win!
Hey, check out this cool game I just learned about! It’s called “Slides and Ladders.” Let me explain how it works.
Some parts of the track have “slides.” They’re like little shortcuts that can help you move ahead. Pretty neat, right? The slide starts with a triangle and ends with a circle.
Now, here’s the interesting part. If your game piece lands at the start of a slide and it’s the color of your opponent’s piece, you get to slide all the way to the end! Wheee! But wait, there’s more. Any other game pieces that happen to be on that slide get sent back to where they started. It’s like a rewind button!

Setting Up the Game
Hey there! So here’s what you need to do to get started:
First things first, choose a color for yourself. Once you’ve done that, place your corresponding pawns on the start space. Easy peasy, right?
Next, it’s time to shuffle the deck of cards. Once they’re all mixed up, place the deck face down on the “place pack here” spot.
Now, it’s time to deal the cards. Give each player 5 cards, making sure to deal them face down.
But hold on, we need to decide who goes first. Usually, we let the youngest player start, but you can choose whoever you want!
Now, let’s talk about the goal:
The objective of the game is to get all 4 of your pawns to your home square. That’s the finish line, so to speak.
And now, let the games begin!
When it’s your turn to play, here’s what you need to do:
- Pick a card from your hand.
- Put the card on the discard pile and move one of your pawns based on the card’s instructions.
- Draw a new card and add it to your hand.
You can jump over other pawns, and if your pawn lands on a square occupied by another pawn, that pawn goes back to its start square.
To bring a pawn out from your start to the main track, you need to draw either a 1 or a 2. If you draw a 2, follow the instructions, then draw again and move your pawn if possible.
If you’re unable to move at any point, you lose your turn. However, if you can move, you must do so. Once a pawn reaches HOME, it can no longer move for the rest of the game.
The Cards
Hey there, let me explain the rules of this game to you using this handy table. Don’t worry, it’s pretty simple to understand.
1 | Move one pawn forward 1 space |
2 | Move one pawn forward 2 spaces. |
3 | Move one pawn forward 3 spaces. |
4 | Move one pawn backwards 4 spaces. |
5 | Move one pawn forward 5 spaces. |
7 | Move one pawn forward 7 spaces or split the forward move between any two pawns. |
8 | Move one pawn forward 8 spaces |
10 | Move one pawn forward 10 spaces or move one pawn 1 space backwards. |
11 | Move one pawn forward 11 spaces or switch any of your pawns with one of any of your opponent’s. (*) |
12 | Move one pawn forward 12 spaces. |
So, those are the moves you can make in this game. Each number corresponds to a specific action you can take with your pawn. For example, if you draw a “1” card, you can move one of your pawns forward one space. If you draw a “4” card, you move one pawn backwards four spaces. Easy, right?
But wait, there’s more! Take a look at the “7” card. With this card, you have two options. You can either move one pawn forward seven spaces or split the forward move between any two pawns. That gives you some flexibility in your strategy.
Now, let’s talk about the “11” card. This one is pretty special. You have two choices here. You can either move one pawn forward 11 spaces or you can switch any of your pawns with one of your opponent’s pawns. Imagine the surprise on their face when you make that move!
So, those are the basic rules of the game. Just draw a card and follow the instructions to move your pawns around the board. Have fun and good luck!
Hey there! Let me tell you about an interesting game called (*), also known as “Eleven”. It’s a fun and strategic game, and I want to share some important information with you. So, if you’re ready, let’s dive right into it!
Now, when playing (*), there are a few rules you need to keep in mind. For starters, it’s important to know that the number 11 plays a significant role. You can only use this number to move your pawns on the open track, excluding the start and safety zones. Oh, and don’t forget that you’ll lose your turn if you choose not to use the number 11!
Another thing to remember is that if the draw pile of cards runs out, you have to shuffle the discarded cards and use them again. This adds an extra level of strategy to the game, as you never know which cards will come up next!
Now, let’s talk about the end of the game. The goal is to be the first player to get all four of your pawns to your HOME. It’s a race against time and your opponents, so make sure you plan your moves carefully and keep an eye on what they’re doing!
So, now that you know the basics of (*), are you ready to give it a try? Trust me, it’s a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat and have you coming back for more! Good luck, and may the best player win!
