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!

  • A classic
Style: Game
The Operation Electronic Board Game is a hit! It’s just as fun and engaging as I remembered from childhood. The electronic buzzer adds an exciting challenge, and it really tests steady hands and focus, making it perfect for kids and adults alike. The pieces are well-made and easy to handle, and the game setup is simple. My family loves playing it together, and it’s a great way to bring everyone around the table for some laughs and friendly competition. Overall, this is a timeless game that never gets old. Perfect for family game night or as a gift for any age. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • Not what I was expecting
Style: Game
I wanted to have a great game night with my kids. I wanted to show them what operations was all about. It worked good, it was a lot of fun. But I remember the buzz of the board to be much more aggressive and the light was much brighter. I was very disappointed. All in all the board worked good, all the pieces were there. I was surprised that it came with a AA battery instead of a big square battery. This may be the reason it was not as aggressive as I remember. All in all it was a good purchase. It just did not do what I wanted it to do. ... show more
