Get Your Revenge On Sorry Board Game!
By Nick | September 4, 2010
Sorry Board Game has been around since 1934; therefore it has definitely stood the test of time for the ages. It has been improved, reworked, re-mastered, and so on to the utmost perfection. This game is actually known as the game of revenge.
That’s why it is called Sorry! Players are able to progress through the game, completing various activities, but the catch is that you are sometimes able to send a player right back to the finish line.
When that other player finally gets his chance to do you in, they would get their revenge, something along the lines of, “Sorry, but I had to do that!”
The main point of Sorry Board Game is basically like a race, you progress from start to finish on a linear path. You move ahead in the game by collecting cards that tell you what to do next. The finish line is known as home sweet home.
This is where winners of this game would want to end up. So what factors are involved in being a successful player of this game? You need a good amount of skill and strategic understanding of when to use your revenge cards, you need a healthy amount of luck, and you need the key ingredient determination and never giving up.
The reason why you should be able to always want to persevere in this game even if you were sent back to the starting line is because there IS an element of luck involved which always gives you that extra edge if you believe that you have it.
However I have seen children become extremely frustrated as they near the finish line only to be sent all the way to the back. This element of game play might seem like a negative in some people’s eyes, after all who would want to frustrate their child?
And yet it also teaches them the true lesson of determination and perseverance. As your children play Sorry Board Game more and more they will be better equipped to handle their emotional outbursts and fine tune their minds of the ultimate objective which is victory.
Another way to allow your children to experience an extreme elation of joy throughout game play is to teach them how to plot their own revenge. As the saying goes, revenge is sweet; it is rooted in the basest of our human emotions.
Everyone naturally feels the urge for revenge when they have been wronged; this is just as true while playing Sorry Board Game.
Now you might be reading this and thinking that there has got to be something wrong with a game that teaches people how to plot revenge and screw people over. However there is much more to Sorry Board Game than just those things.
This game teaches you how to always come out a winner on top at any cost, an important lesson I think, because of the cut throat world we currently live in.
Sorry Board Game comes with the game board, a deck of cards and sixteen pawns that you can play with. This game is designed to be played with two to four players making it perfect for a family night in.
Emotions can get pretty heated during the course of this game (however not as heated as Monopoly can get of course, nothing beats Monopoly) but this emotion is healthy for your children to experience when they are young so that they can learn how to take control of them rather than experiencing anger, revenge, etc. for the first time in their older years when they will be much less experienced in dealings with such feelings.
I highly recommend Sorry Board Game for ages eight and up and I think it is an excellent way for you to spend time with your lovely family.
