Is this game called "Sorry" or "Sorry!" If the latter, the article should be appropriately titled. However, it also needs disambiguation with the British sitcom, "Sorry!" Deb 19:57, 29 Jul 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Sliding

Isn't there some provision by which pieces "slide" a certain number of spaces in Sorry!? --Angr/comhrá 13:25, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rule Discussion

I don't feel that the rules section provides full coverage of the breadth of the game. For example, if one draws a 2, and cannot move a pawn or begin a man that is in home, is one then privileged to draw another card? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.71.29.133 (talk • contribs) It is made so little kids learn to say the word "sorry".

I have made some corrections and clarifications, including slides and some scenarios (Draw 2).


[edit] Trivia

In this article http://www.indcatholicnews.com/remin359.html , Sister Agapita, Cardinal Ratzinger's housekeeper, mentioned that the German Game "Mensch ärgere Dich nicht" was one of the Cardinal's favorite board games. I have a feeling that this game, like its Czech counterpart "Člověče, nezlob se", is the same or at minimum very similar to Sorry.

[edit] Who in the World is Tony Mendoza?

I removed this paragraph:


Tony Mendoza is a world-known Sorry! strategist. Although his plans are currently unknown, he somehow manages to end the game with it going in his favor. Tony regularly studies up on the game and has been called a Sorry! expert by many. He strikes fear in the hearts of many when he arrives to play his game. He is currently attempting to start up Sorry! clubs in schools across the U.S. and Mexico.


This was in the History section of the page. Search for "Tony Mendoza sorry" on Google reveals no such world-renowned Sorry strategist. Besides which, there's no verification, and not even any real facts, simply opinions. WP:SOAP might apply here as the person who made the edit might be talking about himself. ekedolphin 05:49, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] moving backward

Question on card 4. Once exited out of start by receiving a 1 or 2 card, can you move backward 4 past home following this card, once moved back 4 seeing as the rule of the card is being played, can you go right into home or do you have to go past home, start and go around the board.

Thank you David 7 years old May 29, 2007

Yes. You may use a 4 card (or two 10's, if you choose to go backward one space instead of forward 10) to go directly from your start to a position near your home. By doing this, you bypass most of the board and you can go straight into your home. --Runner5k 17:41, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reverting edit by 68.36.158.234

The edit made by 68.36.158.234 deleted a lot of important information in this article, so I reverted to the edit by Eliz81. If you disagree with this, you can discuss it here. --Runner5k 11:18, 29 June 2007 (UTC)


I disagree with this!!!!! 209.51.250.34 (talk) 00:46, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Special editions

I have the Pokemon edition of Sorry!, which includes some special rules; some of the cards are additionally coloured, 1 for each team, with bonuses. For example, a 12 of your own colour allows you to move 12 or 24 spaces. I don't have the game where I am now so can't check details. 128.232.250.254 15:39, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
