Tell me how Simon said the game was played.

Simon said it was a traditional English children's game. Usually three or more people attend (mostly children). One of them plays Simon. Others must react differently to the order announced by the person who acts as "Simon" according to the situation.

If the person who acts as "Simon" announces an order with "Simon says", others must follow suit. The person who plays "Simon" says, "Simon says jump".

Others must jump up at once; And if the person who acts as "Simon" doesn't say "Simon says" but directly announces the order, for example, the person who acts as "Simon" says "jump". Then other people are not allowed to move. If there is movement, the person who does it will be eliminated.

Usually, the player only needs to symbolically express the action instructions issued by the person who issued the command, and does not need to do it completely.

For example, if the person who plays "Simon" says "Simon says touch your toes", players just need to bend symbolically to show that they are touching their toes. Because the key of this game is to distinguish between valid and invalid commands, not to do actions.

The task of the person who acts as "Simon" in the game is to get others out as soon as possible, while others should try their best to make the right response and stay in the game. Except the person who plays Simon, the last person who stays in the game is the winner of the game.

The game doesn't allow people who act as "Simon" to give impossible orders. For example, the person who acts as "Simon" first says "Simon says lift your left leg" and then "Simon says lift your right leg".

The game also does not allow people who act as "Simon" to give orders that make it impossible for players to avoid fouls. For example, the person who acts as "Simon" first says "Simon says jump up" and then immediately says "come down".

However, in some versions of the game, the person who plays "Simon" can give some commands that seem irrelevant to the game, such as "Anyone who is left here". And try to eliminate players.
