RULES: gamerules.com/rules/sorry-boa...
The object of the game is to get all your cards from the start space tot the home space by traveling around the board clockwise, as indicated by the arrows. Setup: Layout the board. Each player picks and color and places their 4 pawns in the corresponding start space. Shuffle the deck of cards and place face down for a draw deck.
On your turn you draw a card and if possible apply its effects then discard the card. Each card says what it does and I’ll go over each of them later. If the drawn card cannot be fulfilled, discard it and end your turn. Play proceeds with the next player to your left.
You are only allowed to move a pawn out of the start space with a 1, 2 or sorry card. Pawns in your start space cannot move from any other card until they leave the start space. On a 1 or two, move your pawn directly below your start space onto the entry circle. If another player’s pawn is on your entry circle, bump it back to start. You may not move a pawn to the entry circle if one of your pawns is already there.
You are allowed to jump over pawns on the board that are in your way, counting it as one space. But you may not share a space with another pawn, instead when landing on the same space as an opponent, bump their pawn back to their start space. If the space is already occupied by your pawn, you may not move there.
If you can move you must, if you can’t move, you forfeit your turn and the next player goes.
In order to land your pawns in the home space they must move in with the exact number. Anytime you land by exact count on a slide triangle that is not your own color, your pawn slides down to the circle at its end, bumping all pawns back to start that are in the way. If you land on the triangle of a slide of your own color, don’t do anything.
When you travel around the board and return to your starting area, instead of proceeding straight, your pawn goes into your safety zone. Only you are allowed to enter your color’s safety zone. Pawns inside a safety zone may not be targeted by Sorry cards. No pawn may enter its safety zone by a backwards move, however, you may move backwards past your safety zone then on a subsequent turn move forward into it.
The cards are as follows:
1 - Either start a pawn out OR move 1 pawn forward 1 space.
2 - Either start a pawn out OR move 1 pawn forward 1 space. Whichever you do, even if you couldn’t move, Draw again and move accordingly.
3 - Move 1 pawn forward 3 spaces.
4 - Move 1 pawn backwards 4 spaces.
5 - Move 1 pawn forward 5 spaces.
7 - Either move 1 pawn forward 7 spaces or split the forward move between any two pawns. Note: you cannot use a 7 to start a pawn and if you use a 7 to get a pawn home, you must be able to use the remainder of the move for another pawn.
8 - Move one pawn forward 8 spaces.
10 - Either move 1 pawn forward 10 spaces or move 1 pawn back 1 space.
11 - Move one pawn forward 11 spaces or switch any one of your pawns with any one of your opponents so long as neither pawn is in the start, safe or home spaces. You may forfeit your move if you don’t want to change places and can’t move 11 spaces forward. If the switch causes you to land on a triangle of another player’s slide, slide to the end.
12 - Move 1 pawn forward 12 spaces.
Sorry! Take one pawn from your start, place it on any square that is occupied by an opponent, and bump that opponent’s pawn back to their start space. If there is no pawn on your start or no opponent’s pawn on any space, you forfeit your turn.
The first player to get all their pawns to their home space wins. Check out the rule Variation for Adults.

Yes. In India, we are playing Ludo from way back. This game is monopoly + Ludo. No doubt.
I played this as a kid (I'm 40) and I couldn't remember how to play, thank you. I just bought a new version and the directions say if you land on the triangle of your own color slide, then slide ahead. If you land on a slide that isn't your color then don't slide. I was confused until I looked at the new board. They have 3 colors on each slide. I get they're trying to make it easier to understand, but I think they make it more confusing by changing the rules.

I personally think it makes a lot better and more interesting two player game when one player has blue/green and the other has red/yellow (I think the game does include rules for that variation). Also, I recommend starting the game with each color having three pawns in the start circle and one in the front so the players aren't just wasting the first several turns trying to get a pawn out. This can also be used for that half-copycat game Trouble.

I don't know why we never thought of the 1-pawn-starting-out-rule when we were kids, but that's brilliant! It was such a slog just trying to get started, we'd often pick a different game instead. xD
Thank you! Its been so long since I played!
Nice work, thank you!
Great video thanks very helpful
house rules you should always play with 1, start with three pawns at start and 1 pawn out of start 2, you can enter home if the card you get is higher than the amount of spaces needed to enter. For example, if I get a 12 and the home is 2 spaces away, I can move my pawn to home
That's just like a DLC to the age old German board game "Mensch, ärgere dich nicht!", just with cards instead of dice. Even the name seams somewhat inspired by it.
Excellent explanations!
I don't remember it being so complicated.

Thanks for the refresher! It has been years since i've played. Fun game!
Thank you for the video.
I just bought the game and the instructions were sort of confusing. For the 7 card for example the game suggests you can move the opposing player's piece back to Start. What?? When you draw a card you are ONLY allowed to move your own pawns unless switching with an 11 or Sorry card right? Thanks for clarification.

Sorry, Ludo, and Trouble are kinda similar. Which one came first?
I used to play that in High School but I definitely forgot
Hey Triple S Games, just so you know if you have the Fire and Ice version or any version prior to 2016 (i think) here are the differences. 1. There are 3 pawns instead of 4. 2. In regular Sorry you can only move with a 1, 2, or Sorry card. That's no longer, as any card with a forward move can be used. 3. Slides can now be used with 3 colors. (I saw them in the Simon Sorry video) 4. 2s can no longer give you the option to draw again. 5. The Sorry card has a new rule. If you can't move a pawn to bump a pawn (No pawn in start or No opponents pawn on any space), or choose to, you move forward 4 spaces. Thank you!
I love this board game now
Can you do next video called "How to Play: Sorry with Fire and Ice Power-ups"?
Thank you!
I know now how to play! (Even if I don't have the Boardgame) Thanks a lot!
Cant get enough of this game.
Dang, I've been playing this game wrong my entire life. I am today years old when I learned how to play this game correctly
I have a question so when a pawn is in your start area and you get a card that says moves backwards 4 are you allowed to move backward 4
I have two questions. 1. When getting a piece to home do you need to have the exact number of moves in order to land at home? Example. If you're three spaces from home and you pull the card number five, can you go home with that card or do you have to pull the exact number? 2 if one of your piece is is on the sliding area of a different color. And you have a second piece that would land on the triangle, can you slide past your own piece?
@TripleSGames

1. Yes. 2. You would slide and send your own piece home.

Okay.. so when you start out, the first card comes out let’s say 4.. do you have to discard that turn and still wait till you get a 1 or 2? Or if you get a forward card (3,5, ect..) do you start off with those cards and move from the start and then go on?
I like to learn your game videos. They are very helpful.

Question. Can you take the remainder of a card other than seven?
Can you do how to play candy land
Ok question what if you have a pawn in the safety zone and you get a cards that 5 but to get to home you only need 3 .. what happens to the pawn Does it go back to start or you can just move it back to safety zone? I’m confused

I think they got rid of draw again on 2 in the 2020 edition. Why is that?

So let’s say the yellow is on its triangle so it can’t slide if another player draws a sorry and take the yellow does it get to slide after taking the piece?
One of my favorites that anybody can play. I had a few classmates who got the rules wrong, though; the way they played it, you were allowed to slide on your own color. The official rules state that this is not allowed.
From where I can buy this
So if you get a 10 , and can not move forward 10, do you HAVE to move back one? Like say, being in a safety zone? Or is moving back 1 optional?

You'd be required to move out of the safety zone.

Todd you are my hero
I remember the version with the see through pieces.
if yo draw a 2 card you must move 1 forward 2 space of start 1 pawn to the entry space
It some how matches with ludo
I always thought it would be cool if, instead of excluding 6 and 9, there was a card that ket you move either 6 or 9 spaces.
If you are near your safety zone and draw a move foreword 12 what happens do you continue around again?
@blaizejosh
2 жыл бұрын
No you can't continue around the board again. I use to think that you had to continue around the board again, but it's not the rules. The rules of a Sorry board game by Parker Brothers from the seventies and eighties state that you cannot go past your own diamond colored square by moving forwards. When Sorry was made by Hasbro, then the diamond squares were removed. The rules to the Hasbro board game does not have any mentions about the diamond squares or not being allowed to go past your own home base. Thus making Hasbro to have unwritten rules.
I can't wait to learn Battleship.
In Turkey, Sorry! is called "Süper Kızma Birader".
I used to play this when I was young but I don’t think I can remember a lot in this game
What happens if you get a higher number than what you need to get into tour safety zone? Also what about only sliding on your colors instead of any?
@danielyuan9862

Doesn't he answer both in the video? If you are able move a pawn forward the exact number of squares the card specifies, the move is legal. If you land your color slide, nothing happens.
If the game JUST started and therefore no pawns are in play and a SORRY card is drawn from the 1st player, can a pawn move out of start?
Can make video about LUDO
So if we are starting the game and I get a card that says 8 spaces forwards can I move my pawn or do I have to forfeit my turn until I get a 1,2 or sorry?

Do you not listen? ONLY a 1, 2, or SORRY card can you move out of your start area.
2 player adjusted rules if you want longer more intense games: draw a 1 - move 1 space out of home draw a 2 - move 2 spaces out of home you need to go around the board again if you don't get the exact number for your pawn to enter the first space of safe or all the way to home you can slide on any arrow My girlfriend and I have been playing these rules almost every night for the last month and the overall score is 14-6 her, always ends closely tho lmao

Ludo is derived from the Ancient Indian game "Pachisi", but simpler.
I got this game on Christmas like 3 years ago and I never learned how to play it so when I found it I looked up how to play it and ended up here
There are a few things not clear. Such as how jumping over other pawns count or don't cou t towards your move count
So basically this is Ludo with offensive abilities.
Okay so we are arguing over what happens in the safe zone. Do you have to go backwards out of the safe zone if a card says so? Our family is playing that you just get to skip those. Is that right?
