Objective:

The objective of Sorry! Giant Edition is to be the first player to get all four of your pawns from the start area to your home area.

Components:

• Giant game board: An oversized version of the traditional Sorry! game board.

• 16 giant pawns: 4 pawns in each of the four colors (red, blue, green, yellow).

• Deck of Sorry! cards: Cards that dictate the movement and actions of the pawns.
  

Setup:

1. Set Up the Board: Lay the giant game board on a flat surface where all players can easily reach it.

2. Place Pawns: Each player chooses a color and places their four pawns in the corresponding start area.

3. Shuffle the Cards: Shuffle the deck of Sorry! cards and place it face down within reach of all players.
   

Gameplay:

1. Starting the Game:

   • Each player draws a card from the deck.

   • The player who draws the highest number goes first. Special cards (Sorry!, 2, and 7) count as zero for this purpose.

   • Play proceeds clockwise.

2. Drawing Cards:

   • At the beginning of each turn, a player draws a card from the deck and follows the instructions on the card.

   • The drawn card is placed in a discard pile after use.

3. Card Actions:

   • 1: Move one pawn forward 1 space.

   • 2: Move one pawn forward 2 spaces. Draw again.

   • 3: Move one pawn forward 3 spaces.

   • 4: Move one pawn backward 4 spaces.

   • 5: Move one pawn forward 5 spaces.

   • 7: Split the movement between two pawns, totaling 7 spaces (e.g., move one pawn 3 spaces and another pawn 4 spaces).

   • 8: Move one pawn forward 8 spaces.

   • 10: Move one pawn forward 10 spaces or move one pawn backward 1 space.

   • 11: Move one pawn forward 11 spaces or swap one of your pawns with an opponent’s pawn.

   • 12: Move one pawn forward 12 spaces.

   • Sorry!: Move one of your pawns from the start area to any space occupied by an opponent’s pawn, sending that pawn back to its start area.

4. Moving Pawns:

   • Pawns move clockwise around the board according to the number of spaces indicated on the drawn card.

   • Pawns can only enter the home area by an exact count. If you can't move a pawn the exact number of spaces needed to get into home, you must make another move.

   • If a pawn lands on a space occupied by another pawn (of any color), the occupying pawn is sent back to its start area.

5. Entering the Safety Zone:

   • Each player has a safety zone leading to their home area.

   • Pawns can only enter the safety zone by exact count and can only move within the safety zone if an exact number is drawn.

6. Winning the Game:

   • The first player to move all four of their pawns into their home area wins the game.
     

Additional Rules:

• Drawing a Card: If you draw a card and cannot make a move, your turn is forfeited.

• Pawn Block: If all your pawns are in the start area and you draw a card that doesn't allow you to move a pawn out (e.g., 4, 5), you forfeit your turn.

• Double Occupancy: If two pawns occupy the same space due to a Sorry! card, the second pawn must go back to the start area.
  

Strategy:

• Using Sorry! Cards: Use Sorry! cards strategically to send opponent pawns back to their start area.

• Splitting Moves: When using the 7 card, consider the best way to split the move to maximize your advantage.

• Swapping Pawns: Use the 11 card to swap strategically, placing your pawn in a better position or sending an opponent’s pawn to a disadvantageous position.
