Advantages: Good counting skills for children

Disadvantages: having to say sorry

‘Sorry’ is a game that has been around for a long time and was played in my family when I was younger.
And now my eldest daughter (8yrs) has this game and has proved to have some good points about it.
If you have played ludo,then you will grasp this game quite quickly, as it is similar except there are no dice involved.
Instead you have a pack of cards with numbers on them that go from 1 – 12. And a card that says ‘sorry’ which enables you to knock anyone off the board. The other numbers have different task (ie: 4 moves backwards, 1+2 gets you out onto the playing area, 11 gives you the option to swap places, and 7 enables you to split your move.
This game is helpful for school children that maybe learning to count and making decisions on who to knock off the board and send back to base.
Just like ludo it is all about getting your four pieces out from the base and getting around the board to ‘home’
On the whole it is a great game and 'Sorry' seems to be the hardest word (ooh i feel a song coming on)
I strongly recommend this game just for its ease of play and understanding, and the fact if you have children from appx age 5 onwards they can participate.
