Each player controls a colored pawn and a Simon unit that flashes light sequences accompanied by sounds. The challenge starts just like the original Simon: watch the pattern, memorize it, and reproduce it by pressing the right buttons. Get it right, and the device tells you how many spaces your pawn may move. Then the board takes over, recalling Sorry!'s chase‑and‑bump feel: you can advance, chase opponents, send pieces back to start, or slide along special tracks. The game blends memory, pattern recognition, and the classic “take that” mechanic, where a well‑timed move can thwart a rival. Everything runs in real‑time, with no formal turns, making the match even more frantic – after each completed sequence, everyone scrambles to move their pawns before the next pattern appears. The box contains a board, 12 pawns (three per colour), the electronic Simon module, a base, and the rulebook. In just 15 minutes, 2–4 players race to get all their pawns home, exercising memory while sharing plenty of laughs from the unpredictable twists. Perfect for families, parties, and quick game sessions, Simon Sorry delivers accessible fun without sacrificing the light strategy that makes both Simon and Sorry! so beloved. ## FAQ ### How many players can join? 2 to 4 players. ### How long does a game take?
