Sorry! Board Game Rules: Complete Guide

Objective

Be the first to move all four pawns from Start to Home (Finish).

Card	Action
1	Move a pawn from Start onto the track (onto the space just outside Start) OR move a pawn 1 space forward.
2	Move a pawn from Start onto track OR move 2 spaces. Draw again.
3	Move a pawn 3 spaces forward.
4	Move a pawn 4 spaces backward (can enter Safety Zone backwards).
5	Move a pawn 5 spaces forward.
7	Move one pawn 7 spaces OR split between two pawns (e.g., 3+4). Cannot start a pawn.
8	Move a pawn 8 spaces forward.
10	Move a pawn 10 spaces forward OR 1 space backward.
11	Move 11 spaces forward OR switch one of your pawns with an opponent's (not in Start/Safety/Finish).
12	Move a pawn 12 spaces forward.
Sorry!	Take one pawn from your Start, place it on any opponent's occupied space, sending that pawn back to its Start. If no pawn in Start, discard.

Entering track: Only 1, 2, or Sorry! (from Start) can bring a pawn out.
Bumping: Landing on opponent's pawn sends it to their Start (say "Sorry!").
Safety Zone: Final 5 spaces per color; only your pawns enter; immune to Sorry!/switch.
Slide: Landing on a triangle slide of another color? Slide to end, bumping all pawns (including yours) back to Start. Your own color slide = safe.
Two pawns same space: Allowed (stacking). Both bumped if opponent lands there.
No move possible: Discard card; turn ends.

First to get all 4 pawns into Home (exact count not required) wins.
