 Cheap and plastic, but good funJul 20, 2010
By J. White
"janinenc"
I will review the two different components of this product - first the assembly, and then actual play.
1) Assembly is required. No tool are needed but you do have to align the cogs so they spin properly and make sure all tabs are clicked in place, or the spinning function will not work smoothly. It took me a total of 5 minutes to assemble the spinning board. I did have to take out a couple of the home zone parts and re-attach so the cogs aligned properly. I think if you get it right the first time and do it when your children are not around trying to "help", then it should easily be done in a couple minutes.
2) The play instructions are easy to understand and follow. There are colored pictures to aid in visualizing the explanation of the rules. The game is rated for Ages 6+ and that seems right on the mark where my kids were concerned. My 6 1/2 year old was able to sit and follow the structure of the game whereas my 3 yr old wanted to randomly move the pawns and spin the board like it was a merry-go-round.
Both kids did lose interest after about 15 minutes, as did I. I would recommend this game to play when you need to fill a short period of time or along with other games when playing for longer.

Sorry - Only Separated Into Five PiecesNov 04, 2010
By John P. Sullivan
I've always loved the original Sorry. This new Spin version can be just as much fun, but the magic is clouded by the flimsy plastic contraption feel of the game. The need for it to be assembled can dissuade the traditional board gamer from taking the time to set it up - not that it's difficult, but simply that it is an additional step which needs to be done.
It plays remarkably similar to original Sorry. With its simple, unpredictable card-based game play and its quick turnaround action, Sorry Spin can be great fun, but it is hardly a replacement to its predecessor. I prefer the sensation of thumping pawns along on a durable one-piece classic board over the airy feel of a hollow plastic system of cogs.
It's a little bit different. It's fun. I just prefer the original.

A new spin on an old classicNov 19, 2010
By Dustin
Everyone in my family loves board games.
Whether you'll like this game mainly depends on whether you like the original Sorry. In my opinion, the game (both original Sorry and Sorry Spin) is too simple for adults, but perfect for young children. Although there are a couple of new elements, this game plays very similarly to the original. The game pieces are pretty, and the I really like the spinning gears that comprise the board. One aspect I find valuable is that you can let someone else win, and you have some control over how long the game will last. If you've played with young kids, you understand the value of these attributes.
It's flexible enough in how you divide your moves, on certain cards, that you do have an element of strategy, but this game is mostly one of luck. I think it would be a great aid to a child learning how to count, or working on subtraction skills.
The board does not fit back into the box, once assembled, so I simply never put it back in there. Nothing on the board broke... but I just don't think it will last if I keep snapping it together and apart. I got a medium pizza box (clean and unused) and it solved the problem. Having something more than a piece of cardboard to play on really helps keep kids interested.
To sum it up: if you really like Sorry, consider buying this game. If you're looking for something as complex as holographic nuclear laser chess, this isn't what you're looking for.

 Great 'spin' on original game!!Jan 20, 2011
By Sorrel Alexis Lewis
"sozzle"
My girls have the original of this at their grandmas and were always raving about it, so when i found this I was delighted and bought it as a stocking filler for xmas. After reading the comments about problems fixing it together and bad durability, I was a little concerned, but need'nt have been. The product doesnt take long to set up and isnt difficult despite reviews that say the opposite. Its a great 'spin' (pardon the pun!) on the original game and we all enjoy playing it very much.

A fun gameFeb 01, 2011
By Stacey Hill
My 8 year old son received this for Christmas when he first opened it I thought "oh-no its cheesy" but in reality it works really well. The game is a blast and we as a family play it all the time. It is constructed well and not at all "cheesy" like I thought upon seeing it. It puts together with ease, and after reading the directions twice we were able to play it. It puts away nicely too. Great purchase, we all love it, the game does truly change all the time.
