| Can you move backwards 4 if you are on the move from start space |
|
|
| Look under the box insert inside the game, that's where I found English instructions. |
|
|
| Do you go back to start if your turn lands you on a spot with one of your own pawns? |

| About the 2 card. If you use it to get out of home do you move your pawn one space to the first space outside of home or do you move it out and then move pawn to the second space outside of home |

|
| What does the diamond space between the safety zone and the start MEAN? |
|
|
| OK, most people want to know the rule on having to pass your safety zone or not if you draw too high a number to enter it or go home. Simply put, there is NO clear rule on this in the modern game. In the original game, there was a diamond on the space just after the space in front of your safety zone and of that color. The rule then stated that no pawn of that color (your color for your zone) could pass over that diamond (which by definition includes occupying that space.) SO that space was essentially a dead space. This would have precluded moving past the safety zone, AND moving backwards from start to avoid having to go around the board. That diamond AND that rule have been removed, SO based on the current rules, if you can go backwards to get to your safety zone, you also MUST pass it up if you have to. The makers of the game would need to add a rule that you cannot pass up your safetly zone, and that your path must follow the arrow which on modern games flows into your safety zone. Otherwise, if we play strictly by the modern rules, you do NOT forfeit your turn simply because you draw a number greater than your home square distance. You are stuck moving around the board again. |

| The arrow after the slides that are right by the "start" spaces.....when u slide on an opponents do u go to the space with that arrow or stay on the circle. What is the purpose of that arrow?!?!? |
|
|
| Our game came ONLY with Spanish instructions also - GO FIGURE?????!!!!!!! |
|
|
| i have a 11 and i am almost too the safe zone and i only have 1 pawn out what do i do since i have to big of a number to go to home and not small enough to be in safe zone do i have to go all around the board or does my turn get skipped
|
|
|
| How many 12's are there supposed to be in the deck??? I only have 3. |
|
|
| I think this game is really fun. You should play with 3 or 4 players to make it more fun :D |
|
|
| I have a mix of 2 sets of sorry game cards, and need to know how many 1s, 2s, 3s, etc. there are in one game! |

| Samantha,
The rules say you can indeed use the backwards 4 in order to avert going all the way around the board. My kids got me on this one.
|
|
|
| The rules say if I can move I must move (even if it is at my disadvantage), all pawns move into Home only an exact count, two pawns of the same color may never occupy the same space (apparently also even in the SAFE ZONE). Lets say I am on the space just before going into the Safe Zone, I draw 5 and if move 5 would share that space with another of my pawns, I guess I have to use the 5 and instead go around the board again? |
|
|
| If you have gotten out by drawing a number 1 or 2 and your next card is a 4 to move backwards can you move backwards and then next card proceed into the safety zone. I know not backwards into the safety zone but backwards that puts you closer to the safety zone, instead of having to go all the way around the board. |
|
|
| You know I'd like to answer some questions or ask some but OUR game ONLY came with Spanish instructions!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
|
| if you are in safe zone and draw a 4 do u move backward out of safe zone or are you safe and do not have to move. |
|
|
| Do you slide backwards when you get a card saying go back 4 ? Or just count each square in the slide area? |
|
|
| So what happens if:
1. All 3 pawns are in my Home
2. I need a Draw 2 and i draw it and move my pawn into Home
3. BUT for a Draw 2, I drew another card and it was a Move Back 4
4. Do I win? or do I have to move a pawn out of my Home, back 4??????
My extremely competitive friend wants to know!! |
|
|
| If I draw a 7 and I'm 2 squares away from a slide and my opponent is 1 square past the slide can I move 2 then slide move 1 and knock out my opponent then finish my next 4 moves with another piece?
Thank You

| We need clarification on this:
"If you draw a card that makes you move more than two spaces beyond your own Start space, on your next turn you may move into your own Safety Zone without moving all the way around the board."
Also - the original game says it's ok for players 6+ - this website says 10+. We play with our 6 year old and he does great!! |

| Ok, I have the same question as Kathy from 12-28-09. I've played this game many times as a kid but now playing as a mom with my family--my husband thinks we have to keep going around and around if we don't have the "right" number to either get to safty or to home. The rules state if there are "no possible moves" that you "forfeit your turn" and that is where my husband says well " there is a possible move"
when reading the object it does say when one player gets all four pawns into home from start but it doesn't say this has to be done in one round!!!!! someone HELP!!!!!! |
|
|
| If behind home and you get go 12 card do you go back around board again or do you stay there because you don't have the exact number to go home? |
|
|
| An oldie but a goodie! |
|
|
| that is so cool dude |
|
|
| Can you pass in the safety zone? |
|
|
| Can you use a 4 to go backward past start and go into safety zone? |
|
|
| I noticed with the newer version of the game Sorry that it does NOT have the "triangle" NOR the rule that goes with it. Does anyone know why?
(ex: with a "10" card you have the option of going forward 10 spaces or back 1. It was a benefit of having that "triangle" because it stopped you from going around the whole board. |
|
|
| does anyone know if you go around the board and you cant go into the safezone do you sit till you get the right number or do you have to go back around? |
|
|
| I really like this game it is very fun for math we have to make a board |

My son and I have modified the rules and it makes for a much closer game:
1) We've taken the 3 ad cards and created two 6/9 cards (can be a 6 or a 9) and a wild card (can be any standard card except Sorry!)
2) If you are in front of your safety zone and draw a large card and have no other moves, you have to go around.
3) If you draw the same valued card on successive turns the second one becomes a negative move.
Optional:
4) Marked one of each single function forward cards (3,5,8,12) with an "R" which gives the option to move an opponent's piece backwards that number of places.
5) For a faster game: always slide when you hit an arrow then keep counting. Wipe out all pieces on the slide including your own. |
