Wimp and Crybaby Edition
We bought this to replace our old Sorry game that was falling apart. I wish we had read the reviews first instead of assuming it was still the classic Sorry--it is definitely not.
Differences:
- Game board design (doesn't look as good, but it doesn't interfere with play)
- 3 pawns instead of 4
- Sorry cards can be used to move you forward 4 spaces
- Can leave Start on ANY forward-moving card
- The 2 card doesn't have you draw again
Honestly, if I had known those things, I would NOT have bought this game. One reviewer called it the Millennial version, and I'm going to agree. The original game was an excellent tool for teaching kids to suck it up if things didn't go the way they wanted. Everyone else's pawns are out and yours are still in Start because you haven't drawn a 1 or 2? Too bad! Your opponent drew a Sorry card and sent you home? Deal with it! This new version is for wimps and crybabies.
And why only 3 pawns? Cutting costs, most likely.
Hasbro, you've mucked up a great game. I'll be looking for the real version and donating this one (though I might put a warning on the box).
