Game Review: This game reminds me a lot of Uno, and that's a good thing! There's nothing better than a basic card game for kids which mostly requires simply the ability to identify numbers and colors. Each player in this game is dealt a hand of cards; from this hand, you attempt to play all of your cards on the discard pile in the center of the table. The game has 4 rounds: each round ends with one player is first to empty his hand. He puts a token on his "home base", and the game continues until one player gets all 4 of his colored tokens on his home base. The twist? There is a large red electronic Sorry pawn sitting in the center of the table. If you can't play when it's your turn, you have to hit the button on the top of the pawn and he then tells you how may cards to draw. It might be just one or two; or it could be 8 or 9! Or perhaps you will be told to draw 6 cards---and give them all to another player! The pawn's funny comments are the absolute highlight of the game. If play goes on too long without anyone touching the pawn, he will make a comment about how bored he is, or tell you to hurry up! Kids love to hear his funny jokes and running commentary, and of course to play cards which allow one player to force another to hit the pawn. We have played this game so much, and it has yet to grow old. I think this one will be a big hit for a long time to come, because my kids ask to play it on a regular basis.
