If you're looking for a version of Sorry that is as close as possible to the original, this is the one to get.
I have a vintage Sorry game from (I think) the early 1980s. This version by Winning Moves is very close to the original in quality. The board is the same size, folds in half, and appears to be the same material and weight. The cards look slightly different, but are of good quality. The tokens are plastic (as are the ones in my vintage set), and are almost exactly the same in size and weight. The colors are slightly different (most noticeable in the green tokens), and there is a bit of texture to the new ones that make them look less shiny. Perhaps that is to make them look a little more like the original wood tokens. Instead of having the game rules printed on the box insert, there is a separate rules booklet. I didn't really look through the rules in detail to check for differences, but at a quick glance the standard game rules looked the same. The tokens are stored in a plastic zipper-type bag, rather than having the molded slots in the box.
I've uploaded photos of both the Winning Moves game and my vintage Parker Brothers game for comparison - sorry if they are not oriented correctly - I don't know why Amazon's uploader changes them.
