Go Back… Sorry

It is derived from the many Pachisi versions (like Parcheesi), and calls for moving 4 colored tokens from the beginning to the end box at the end of the board. Game play utilizes cards to regulate the way in which the pieces move, and it is possible to wind up knocking opponent pieces back to the beginning (therefore the name "Sorry!").

Pick out the color you want to utilize and place your 4 pawns in the beginning box that matches with your color.

You then pick out a card from the deck and move one of your pawns according to the directions. You must choose a pawn that may move the exact number of spaces. For instance, if a pawn is 2 spaces away from home, however you draw a card that tells you to move 3 or more then you must pick out one of your other pawns.

Make the best of slides if they present themselves. You must land exactly on the beginning of the slide in order to utilize it.

Make the best of cards that tell you to move backwards by picking out a pawn that is close to the start. Frequently you are able to play a backwards card and wind up, rather than far from the home, a single move away.

Be mindful of the chance to send opponent's pawns back to their beginning. If you pull out a card that would place one of your pawns on the same space as an opponent, you get to move your piece there and move your adversary's pawn to his beginning.

Attempt to get your pawns into the "Safety Zone" (the last five squares nearest to your home) as fast as possible. Since they are immune to pushes (being sent back to beginning), you will be able to leave them there till you draw a card that brings them home.
