These press clippings from Simon Townsend's scrapbooks cover the 1986 release of his board game, 'Simon Says'.

At the time of its release, Simon told the Gold Coast Bulletin, 'This is my new game, and it's silly. It's all about getting the players to do something silly, tell funny jokes and try to outdo each other for grins and groans.'

The board game was a big success, selling out the initial run of 20,000 within a week.
