Sorry Board Game Rules

The Sorry Board Game is a very fun game to play and can be ideal for playing during family game night.

Set Up

Each player gets 4 pawns of the same color. You put all 4 of your pawns on the start space before you began. Next you shuffle the deck and place it face down on the section called “place pack here”.

Play

In order to play you draw 1 card from the deck. And move according to that card. When you are on start you must draw either 1 or 2 to leave start. If you draw a 1 put your piece to the first space. If you draw a 2 you can move out 2 and draw again.

After your first turn you can draw cards and move forwards or backwards as the cards say. You may also jump over other pawns counting it as 1 space. If you land on the same space as another pawn you move that pawn back to the Start for its color, this is even true if it is your pawn.
