Editorial Review

This classic game of luck, strategy, and determination is easy to grasp for children as young as 6 years old, yet it's fun for adults and older siblings too. This Disney-themed version features such classic Disney characters as Cruella De Vil, Bambi, Dumbo, the Little Mermaid, Snow White, Buzz Lightyear, Peter Pan, and Tarzan. By drawing cards, players move their game pieces around the board, hoping to eventually accumulate all their pieces at the final destination--home sweet home. Sorry is known as the game of "sweet revenge," since players can send each other's pawns back to the starting line, thus forcing one another to lose ground and begin all over again. This kind of frustration may be hard for children under age 8 to handle. In fact, young ones typically crumble into tears of outrage when their pawns are cavalierly sent back. The only recourse is to teach children how to plot their own revenge, which makes them feel as powerful as superheroes.

Product Description

Sorry!, a classic family favorite, is now enhanced with Disney characters and spell-binding powers. Special cards can magically advance an entire team or send them into retreat. It's a chase and a race, and it's not over until Tarzan, Ariel, Captain Hook or Pooh gets his or her team all the way home. Includes: 20" x 20" game board, deck of cards, 16 Disney movers and stands and instructions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth your valuable time..., October 13, 2003

This review is from: Sorry! Disney (Toy)

I've never been a big fan of the game "Sorry!" I found it a little boring... maybe it's because I had my own copy of "Trouble" and "Sorry!" seemed like a scaled-down version. (Not really sure, to be honest...) Disney, however, actually made the game fun for me. I'm a 32-year-old Dad and my daughter is 6. She loves it and I really don't mind playing it with her two or three times in a row.

Disney has taken the original rules and developed some special cards that benefit each color. First let me explain a bit about the game itself...
The Blue character plays "The Heroes" -- Buzz Lightyear, Tarzan, Peter Pan, and Hercules.
The Red character is "The Villains" (usually ME) -- Cruella, Hook, Hades, and Malificent.
Yellow, "The Princesses" (usually my daughter) -- Snow White, Cinderella, Ariel, and Toy Story's Jessie (!?!? - even my 6-year old knows -- "Jesse isn't a PRINCESS!")
Green, "Animal Stars" -- Pooh, Dumbo, young Simba, and Bambi
The board looks great, the artwork is fun, and it's all very Disney-esque.

Special cards -- there are certain cards, when you draw them, that allow you to do special things IF you happen to be the matching color on the card. If you are blue and draw a blue three, you have the option of drawing the next three cards and picking the one you want to use. If you draw a green eight and you are green, you have the option of moving TWO characters 8 spaces. A matching 12 in your color will send one of your tokens (the one furthest along) HOME safe. There are more, but hopefully you get the idea.

My daughter is 6, but seems able to grasp all the rules and has great fun teaching her friends to play. As far as the cardboard characters coming of the bases is concerned, we haven't really had that problem. I'm not sure why - maybe we just push them into the bases harder than some of the other folks here that have posted reviews.

Anyway, my advice: a great game for parents to play with the kids. Just remember, you don't HAVE to TRY and win! :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Twist, January 3, 2003

I love Disney. I love the game "Sorry!". So I figured if they combined these two, it would be a great game! I received it for Christmas and as soon as I got it, opened the box and started setting up the game.

It is very similar to the classic "Sorry!" but with a harder to interpret board (very nice graphic use, but harder on the eyes than the standard), harder to move pieces (they are very large and the stands fall off of the cardboard bases very easily) and of course, variations on characters and cards.

I love the characters and how they seperated them (Heros, Villains, Girls, Animals) and the overall concept idea of the board and pieces is wonderful, but as cute as it is to look at, I would much rather play the original game, with a simple design that keeps the game fun and easy :)

The coolest additional feature to the game would be extra "actions" on the cards, such as: If you are a green character, you can move your leading piece to Home or move forward 8 spaces. (May not be exact phrasing on cards, but you catch my drift). It makes it interesting because you never know if you get a special bonus :)

All-in-all, I give this game 3 1/2 stars - At least 3 because it's "Sorry!", which is one of my all-time favorite board games; and also because it's Disney! However, functionality and durability leave something to be desired..

3.0 out of 5 stars Stick to the basic Sorry!, January 1, 2003

This review is from: Sorry! Disney (Toy)

Of course, the Disney title caught our eye. Since we own the majority of all Disney DVDs, it seemed natural to purchase the Sorry! Disney for our 5 year old.

The rules are pretty much the same as the traditional game of Sorry! There are some special moves thrown in that doesn't add any additional fun.

Our biggest complaint is the pieces. There are cardboard cutouts of Disney charactures that stick into a base piece. They keep falling out and it adds unnecessary height to the pieces. My daughter kept knocking them over.

My advice--stick with the regular Sorry!, there's no Disney magic here.
