What is Sorry!?

Sorry! is a card-driven Ludo-style race game patented in 1929 in England and published in the US by Parker Brothers from 1934. Two to four players draw cards to move their pawns around the board from start to home. Landing on an opponent's pawn — including via the 'Sorry!' card — sends it back to their start. Long a Hasbro family-game staple.
