If you’re a fan of the original Simon memory game, then the new Simon Flash Game will go
down well in your household. This new game is set to make waves this holiday season,
combining a number of different games into one, and it is one of the hot toys for Christmas
2011.
What Is The Simon Game? The original game uses four different colored
lights. To win, you must memorize the order the lights appear in. As you get further in
the game, the sequence you need to memorize gets longer and longer.
This new Simon Flash toy has a number of different modes to keep things interesting:
The yellow game requires you to line up the cubes to get the lights to turn off,
The red game mixes up the colors of the cubes, leaving you to put them back in their original
order, The blue game requires you to get the same
color on all four of the cubes, The green game is the classic Simon memory
game.
What Do You Get With The Simon Flash Game? 4 electronic cubes,
Game rules, Case,
8 AAA batteries, Quick-play card.
Is The Simon Flash Game Worth Buying For Your Child?
This game is certainly fun. It has enough to it to keep the whole family occupied for
hours at a time, thanks to the four different game modes. The great thing about this game
is that it’s totally fair – the younger kids have just as much of a chance of winning
as the adults do!
You can play the Simon Flash game with as many players as you like – whether that
means on your own or with the whole family. Although it’s recommended for ages eight
and above, younger kids can and do have a great time joining in.
The fact that the game is so small means it’s a good game to take with you when you travel.
Keep the kids entertained in the back of the car while you try to navigate, or bring it
with you as a game you can all play together while on vacation.
The one downside of this game is that it may seem a little expensive for what it is. At
around $25, it’s still cheap, but it does cost a little more than some other family
games you can buy. Aside from the price, the only other downside is that it needs eight
batteries to run. These are included, but future batteries could be a little costly.
All in all, Simon Flash makes an excellent holiday gift for the whole family. Toys that
bring people together should be treasured, and Simon Flash can do that, or keep you entertained
when you’re alone.
