The Great Game: Sorry!, 1950-1960

01

Artifact Overview

Parker Brothers' Sorry! is based on Pachisi -- a game that originated in India. In this version, players draw cards and move their game pieces from start to home around a cross-shaped board. Landing on another players' marker sends that player back to start. Other game companies have created similar versions using dice.
