Also, as discussed [here](http://boardgames.stackexchange.com/q/4172/1140), "... if at any time you can move, you must move, even if it's to your disadvantage." (Hasbro also has a scanned copy of the rules [here](http://www.hasbro.com/common/instruct/sorry.pdf) on their site ... note that Wikipedia essentially clarifies these rules.)
