This classic Parker Brothers race to home game is one of my favorites. Each player has four pieces that must be moved from start to home using cards drawn from a deck. Pieces move around the board forward, backwards, sliding, trade places and sending each other back to start. This is a very unpredictable, sometimes frustrating, always fun board game. It truly is "the game of sweet revenge".
I think this game sometimes gets tagged as being only for young children, but it can be a fun and challenging game for adults as well. The best way to accomplish this is to play the adult version. In new editions of sorry you can find this variation in the instructions. The main difference in the adult version is that you get to hold five cards in your hand at all time. This allows quite a bit more strategy into game as you get to decide which cards to play and which piece to move. In this version you also start with one of your game pieces outside of start. If you haven't played Sorry since you were young, or have never played it, I would recommend picking up a copy and playing. I guarantee you will want to play again and again.
You can find Sorry! for about $10 - $15 at Target, Wal-mart, Toys-R-Us, or your local game store.
