Shadows Over Camelot Pt. 1: Sorry! (I made you play that game)

This one’s a bit of an inside joke. My wife and I recently tried to play Sorry!, one of those classics of childhood. I have so many great memories of playing board games as a child: Parcheesi, Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders. I thought some old-school gaming would be a good idea. I was wrong.
Almost instantly, all the terrible memories came flooding back. The jeers, the snide comments, the sarcastic smiles as opponents bump your pawns back to Start. Sorry! is a simple game with a core mechanic designed to frustrate rather than entertain. Any pleasure derived from the game is pure schadenfreude. I didn’t finish the game and haven’t looked back since.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Awful game designed to mold children into bullies and sociopaths.
At last someone who agrees with me. Judging from the comments in Dassance’s facebook post, we are in the minority. Too bad. If more people hated Sorry! the world would be a better place.
