Simon is a large round electronic box with four player 'press pads' on top. Each of the pads lights up and plays a tone.The game is basically a memory game. Simon lights one of the coloured pads and sounds a tone, then two, then three, etc. Players attempt to match Simon by pressing the pads in the proper sequence. If someone fails, they get a 'raspberry' and are out of the game. Of course Simon speeds up as the game progresses so it becomes increasingly more difficult.For a little less randomness, players can set the game to ignore the computer and perform the sequences themselves adding one colour to each play. Player 1 can press 'Red', Player 2 then must press 'Red' and then adds another 'Red', player 3 then must press 'Red, Red', and then adds 'Blue', etc. - BoardGameGeek
