As Edward and I have worked our way through various variants of mainstream, mass market games, we have found some gems and some stinkers. Yet, we have not slowed down. The latest game to reach the table was 2010’s Sorry! Spin, by Hasbro.

Sorry! debuted back in 1929, making it darn near 100 years old. Now that is some staying power. Sorry is one of many variations on the same mechanics and gameplay in games like India’s 4 AD Pachisi, the Westernized Parcheesi, 1962’s Aggravation (with the marbles instead of pawns), 1965’s Trouble with the Pop-O-Matic, and the like.

Sorry has many different variants out there, and hopefully with your support, Edward and I will be able to procure more of them. With Spin, the game board is a series of gears that rotate, or spin, affecting the gameplay and decision making. Believe it or not, we got The Daughter and The Wife to sit down with us and play. Let’s see how it went.
