Sorry!

Regret-expressing exclamation point

Sorry! is a board game where players race pawns around a track, sending opponents back to start by landing on their spaces.

The name comes from the mock apology players offer when bumping someone: Sorry!

The game rewards spite—targeting whoever's ahead—making that "sorry" satisfyingly insincere.
