Description

It's the Operation electronic board game, a game night favorite, featuring hilarious ailments. The patient, Cavity Sam, is a little under the weather. Who can avoid the buzz and help him recover without lighting up his red nose? Players choose a Doctor card with 12 possible wacky anatomy parts to remove. Just steer clear of the sides of the game unit to avoid the dreaded buzzer! If they don't set off the buzzer, they earn the amount of money shown on the back of the card. The player with the best skills and the most money at the end of the game wins. A beloved children's game for ages 6 and up, it's one of the best family games for game night and a laugh- out-loud indoor game for playdates. Looking for fun gifts for kids? Classic board games for families make great gifts for girls and boys any time of the year! Operation and Hasbro Gaming and all related terms are trademarks of Hasbro. Surely countless medical careers have been launched because of this humorous game. The Operation game board features Sam the patient, lying atop a red plastic "operating table" with 12 body cavities exposed. Players perform highly skilled procedures with a pair of tweezers such as removing a broken heart or butterflies in the stomach. This kind of surgery requires a steady hand! Doctors must remove the offending body part without touching the metal lining of the cavity. Touch the metal edge, and you'll set off the buzzer and make Sam's nose light up. Then the designated Specialist steps in--for double the fee! If you're playing solo, try performing all 12 operations without getting zapped. Two AA batteries are required. Operation is for one or more players. --Elizabeth Ward P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); From the Manufacturer Doctor, the patient is here to see you!

  • Fun game but I liked the original version better
Style: Game Size: Original Version
Fun game for adults and kids alike. Good for kids to build their hand-eye coordination skills. The buzzer isn’t as loud and jarring as it used to be and I feel like that takes something away from the rush you get when you succeed. Overall enjoyable.

  • Perfect going away gift for my favorite doctor
Style: Game Size: Original Version
My doctor (NP) was the best I have ever had in my life at the time when I needed a good doctor the most. My husband and I had moved to a new area, far from friends and family, and in less than 3 weeks we both got Covid and were hospitalized. We didn't even have a doctor because we were so new to the area. When I was released from the hospital, I had to find a doctor for a follow up, and that's how I found him. He was young enough to be my son, and what was really funny is his last name was the same as my maiden name. We formed a bond of friendship due to our mutual love of Texas music, and he saw me through healing from my own illness, and then when my husband died in the hospital, this amazing doctor helped me through this as well. When he shared with me that he was leaving the clinic to work for a general surgeon closer to home, I was broken hearted. I knew I had to find a parting gift for him that would stand out. After much thought, I decided this game would be a fun choice because he had 3 young children who I knew would enjoy it. I told him this could help him brush up on his anatomy since he would be working with this surgeon. He loved it and so did his kids! He messaged a picture of his kids playing it. ... show more
