Simon
Another classic game reborn for a new generation.
Although the new clear casing is not as cool as the original’s basic black, it is still a totally enthralling game. Kids can play alone or with friends, the object of the game being to press the colored buttons in the correct sequence as indicated by “Simon”. Sounds easy but it’s not; with each successful completion of a sequence, Simon presents a more difficult pattern. Hours of fun, and as a bonus it helps improve memory!
