Sorry - First time playing

 I had the privilage of playing the game Sorry for the first time. I've seen this game growing up and know it's one of the more popular games. At first I liked the ease of game play, we definitely were able to chat while playing. It wasn't too serious, a light game, until. . .my little guy was bumped back to home. It was horrible, all my progress gone. My friend said "sorry," while I contemplated to my self that she wasn't sorry at all. This was begining to feel like a white elephant game, where anyone can steal from you. It wasn't fun, and we had several issues about the rules. Just like Monopoly it seems people had their own house rules growing up. The instructions were simple but almost too simple, they didn't answer our questions and we were left to decided by majority vote how we would play. The updated instructions can be found on the Hasbro website. These instructions do clarify some things, like moving backward behind your own safety zone. It also indicateds that you should slide on slide spaces that aren't your own color, so we were playing the reverse. Included in these instructions are also rules for team play and an adult variation. I would like to try both, these seem a little more challenging.

Then at the very end I unexpectly won the game. So I have a like/hate relationship with this one.
