1 x playing board

1 x pack of 44 Sorry Cards; 4 of each denomination;
- 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,10,11 and 12
- 4 master Sorry cards

4 x sets of 4 colour pawns

1 x rules booklet

1 x small box for cards and pieces

Players move 4 pawns according to instructions on the board and from cards drawn. The first home, wins.

 

An enjoyable game, similar to Ludo but more detailed. Alternative game play options;
- partnership, where red partners yellow and green with blue
- points, cards are dealt first and players choose their moves.

This edition was the last to be presented with a board and separate small box for the game contents. Later editions used a single large box.

There is no year of manufacture shown. The use of a single box, plastic pawns rather than wood and of the same moulded design as those from the 1963 edition, suggests the early 1960s or possibly late 1950s.
