Product Description

Product 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

      Not as well made as it was when I was a kid in the 1980s, but what is? I loved this game as a kid and still do. We bought this as a gift for our 5 year old. It’s funny watching him with the same panic and stress of trying to play without making the buzzer go off that adults feel too. Classic game!

      My grandson needed to go to the hospital for stitches at the age of 4 years old. I ordered this for him wo when he came home, he could play doctor. This game arrived in 2 days and he was scared by the buzzer but eventually got used to it.

      This game came out when I was a tween, but at the time, there were no ages listed on games, and it was new! The biggest problem with this game is that it only comes with the bones and parts needed for this game and these little pieces get lost easily. There should be one or two bags of extra parts so the game will have longevity in the home.

      It's a fun game and teaches children coordination and dexterity. Unfortunately, the essential pieces are usually long lost before the battery dies.

      I loved this game growing up. Got it for my grandkid (4-5), but it’s a bit too challenging for them at this age. Looking forward to the future and lots of fun playtime.

      I've recently picked up Operation to introduce it to my niece, and it instantly brought back so many fun memories! This game is perfect for both kids and adults, combining skill, patience, and a little bit of humor. The setup is super simple, and the concept is easy to understand—remove the "funny bone" or "water on the knee" without setting off the buzzer. That buzzer sound and the red nose lighting up still make everyone jump and laugh.

      Overall, Operation is a fantastic choice for family game night or just a fun distraction on a rainy day. It’s challenging enough to keep everyone engaged, and the silly ailments add a lot of charm. Definitely worth adding to your game collection!

      Works great and it is the original which is better then the newest version. It takes 2 AA batteries instead of the big D Battery that would never stay in place on my older one.
