A reinvisioning of a classic that adds a touch of (nearly) danger -

"Simon Stabs..." is an interactive game that provides 'harmless' platform differs from a typical knife skill game with a real knife. It consists of two gaming platforms with wooden knives as 'switch' to press six 'buttons' in the space between each finger. The rule of the game is that player should remember sequence of pressing buttons led by flash movie clip on the screen similar to 'simon game'. First player's stabbing several spaces between fingers replays on the other player's screen so that he mimics the sequence and add more on it. Then first player should do the same, then back and forth.
Game ends when any mistake occurs.

The game might also end if you hit yourself square on the knuckle - Simon Stabs

"The game might also end if you hit yourself square on the knuckle"
