The Sorry! board game is one of many variants descended from the ancient Indian cross and circle game pachisi, commonly known and branded as Parcheesi in the United States. Instead of traditional dice, players draw cards which control the movement of their four pawns from start to home, on a board that resembles a modern, modified pachisi board. Sorry! has lasted because its game play is so random that it prompts good-natured (and devious) gotcha! fun. Even young players can claim victory over adults if they draw the right cards.
