When the grandchildren were younger, we played Go Fish until we were blue in the face but the next step up was Sorry! First Morghan, then Jack and now Gabby and Joey adore, absolutely adore this game.
This weekend, I found the "Pop up" game that Aunt Kristy gifted us with a year or two back. I thought, OH YES! this is similiar to Sorry but Pop Up game will be shorter, quicker. We'll play Pop Up! Not! Joey and I found out it is not shorter nor quicker and it might have been longer as even Joey gave up on finishing.
A couple of weeks ago, I came across an abbreviated Sorry game in one of the stores. The abbreviated version is supposed to be over in just 20 minutes. Any of you veteran Sorry players know that the old-fashioned Sorry can take hours to be done. Hours plus 100 minutes! One game took HOURS plus three days.
I didn't buy that shortened Sorry game. And no, don't you buy it either. After all, when we stop and think about it, what better way to spend time with our precious grandchildren -- with plenty of opportunity to teach fairness, team work, honesty, reading, writing, physical training AND perseverence. Oh yeah. Perseverence . . .

Sorry can't possibly last as long as War!
maybe not but it sure seems like it!
I hiccuped and it published my post two times. Sorry!
yes. sorry, yet again!
It is pretty sad when my 5 year old can whoop me in sorry. I cannot count how many times I have played that game and Joey has beat me every time but one. Gabby on the other hand, we still work on her to finish the game!!
