It says "turn it over for a different game", the only difference I see, is the color of the board. What exactly is the difference between the two?

It's the same basic game, however you are tossing metal washers instead of bean bags. The washer side has a felt coating, the bean bag side is smooth wood.

Smooth side is for bags and felt side is for rings. Careful when moving the board side to side. Legs are plastic and break very easy.

One side is used for the bags (has a smooth finish) the other side is green felt used for the rings. Not a huge difference! On another note, I bought mine for my 6 year old son and it broke within 20 minutes! The legs are plastic and break really easy especially since you have to constantly move them from one side of the board to the other depending on the game you want to play! Nice concept; poor construction!

There is no difference. I have had both. Guess they just like to change the color once in awhile.

Amazon asked me to answer your question and I don't know why. I was not selling a Sorry game. I bought one for my Grandson. If you're asking is it the same game as the original, it is. However, the graphics on the front are different and the game pieces and board seemed roughly the same as well.

This does not match the original version of the game. The original did not have borders, this version does so it doesn't fit right and the pictures on the tiles are different too. This also will not work with the board you can buy to fit the pieces in.

I bought this recently and noticed the same things that Lady Calavicci pointed out, also, the instructions don't explain who's turn it is after you've completed rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock. My sister and I kinda use trivial pursuit style rules. If you get the question right, you go again, you win rpsls, then its your turn.

My guess is that this is the R&R; version. If you want a specific version, you can probably find someone selling it on BGG.

I don't understand that - I just got this Scrabble game and a new laptop last November (2012), so it's not that old. Since I don't have the box that the game came in, is Encore the game manufacturer? If so, they probably have a newer version, but trust me the one that I bought from amazon works - I have a Dell laptop - not that it should make a difference.

No idea - they are the same - but my daughter has the blue one and she didn't care - and it is still working great after several years of educational and fun play!

I'm not sure, the version I have played was purchased at a game store. I would assume that if it is a new copy that it probably is. Most of the time the revised editions are only different in that they clear up any hard to understand rules and put new pictures on the cards. This game did not have any issues with the rules that I saw, it was just horribly boring. I would stay away unless you like games that are all chance and nothing but rolling dice all night because that is all you do in this game.

Revised is the reprint with full color art. Apparently the old version didn't have full color. Also may have some rules changes. Source: http://www.sjgames.com/general/press_releases/100514.html

We play this game with 3 players, as well as 2 players. There isn't any difference - just use the 3 player rules and instructions.

Not sure this is the only version I have ever owned. It's a board with squares. You place the plastic pieces into the squares so there is no shifting. Not sure if that helps or not.

I bought this game and also don't understand how to move around the board. I figure you go clockwise after starting the game but how do you know where or when you can switch to the other ring or path?

Yes. The game board is slightly larger - one extra square in each direction. You can ignore the extras by covering them, or not. We don't own the original, and when we played this one our first time, we played by the original rules to get a feel for how it played before adding in the additional features.

I only played the original game once loved it but wanted the bigger board. In the Jumbo version the chips I think are bigger as the board is huge the colors are Blue, Red and Green. Hope that helps.

The difference is this has 12 rounds instead of 6 so (i.e.- 12 players are playing one game and flip the cards 12 times until it gets back to the original player)

It says on the instructions it is. I don't play and don't know the difference. I bought it for my grandson and it was a lot nicer than the one he was given at school.
