This review is from: Sorry Retro Edition by Parker Brothers - The Classic Game of Sweet Revenge (Toy)

Simplified Version of Parcheesi and throw in some lucky cards and you have "Sorry!" This sounds simple, but try to play and you find that there is something more illusive. This game uses Cards numbers from one to twelve to determine your moves; each card also has instructions that may help or hinder the progressive movement from Start to Home. Some time it is an advantage to move backwards. There are not enough stars for fun. You just will not tire of this game in a day or a lifetime.

As for educational, the game is mostly just spending repetitive time trying to outguess and outluck the next person. Then watching helplessly as the third person takes their turn. It is fun but you do not come away with any profound insight on number theory or game psychology.

Durability is as durable as cardboard and wood (or plastic.) it is a matter of handling and not losing the cards or pieces.
