Did Ya Know?

Who Invented the game SORRY?

The earliest variation of today's Sorry! can be traced back to William Henry Storey of Southend- of- Sea filed for a patent. Sorry! was registered as a trademark on 21 May 1929 . It was also trademarked in the UK to a British games manufacturer who sold it from 1934.
Sorry! is a board game based on the ancient game of cross and circle. Players try to travel around the board with their pieces faster than any other player. Originally manufactured in the United States by Parker Brothers, Sorry! is ideal for two to four players, ages six through adult. The game title comes from the many ways in which a player can block the progress of another, while issuing an apologetic "Sorry!"
