Product Description

In the Operation game, you get to be the doctor and make Cavity Sam better or get the buzzer! Cure him of all his wacky ailments like headphone headache and gamer's thumb by picking funny ailment pieces out of the game tray with a pair of tweezers. But watch out! If you touch the sides of the openings, you'll get the buzzer and light up Cavity Sam's nose! The player who removes the most ailments wins!.

From the Manufacturer

Your patient Sam is feeling a bit under the weather. Can you operate and make him better, or will you get the buzzer? Grab the tweezers and try with all of your might to take out all of his funny ailments. Can you help him with his headphone headache or his gamer's thumb? Operate with your steadiest hand, but don't forget to steer clear of the sides and avoid lighting the light. Operation and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro.

    Although the new guy is a bit creepy looking, it is the same old fun! One thing that could be better is the buzz...it is weak. When I was a kid I am pretty sure there was some sort of low grade electrical shock involved. Now it is a polite little ditty and a the good old red light.

    Nice game for a small child 3 or 4 with supervision because there are small pieces. Older kids may get bored with it quickly because it is kind of easy to beat. Perfect for the really young ones though.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the original, but still fun.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2013

    I'll just straight up say it. This is not the same Operation game many of us grew up with. Many of the parts are very different, smaller and make a lot less sense (no explanations of the "ailments" like the original so you have no idea why you are pulling a dog or a cell phone out of somebody). You no longer have cards that tell you what part you need to remove. Getting paid for the operation is no longer part of the game. In the end this game feel very little like the original.

    As for the changes. Instead of cards you do get sound effects that tell you what to take out. A dog bark means remove the dog. A burp means remove the bubbles and on and on. That might make the game more economical and easier to setup/takedown (and less parts to lose), but those little details also helped make the game more interactive. At this point you can play the entire game without saying one word to each other.

    As for the parts you remove it's kinda weird. The old game had parts that pertained more to body parts like funny bone, broken heart, spare ribs and such. It gave you at least a little nod to being a doctor working on body parts. Not a single item in the new one refer to any body part. I don't know if some parents complained about it or what. The other thing about that is the plastic parts you do remove don't have as many options or "tricks" on how to get them out. So it's not as challenging or not as innovative. I will give a nod to the use of a couple of rubber parts to help make things interesting texture-wise. The use of a rubber band for one part is still there and is still neat, but I am concerned of what will happen once the band wears or snaps.

    I know I am being hard on this game, but it really isn't as bad as I am making it out to be. I'm just getting older and am complaining about things not being like they were in the glory days of board games. Operation is still fun to play and it has it's own challenges and innovations. There is one thing I don't think the first one had and that's adjusting the sensitivity of the contacts to give you two levels of skill. And most importantly my son gets to enjoy the concept of removing little parts with a pair of tweezers just like dad did his age.

    So the new Operation is very different than the old one. That doesn't mean it's still not a fun game to play. I am betting if they make the original now it would be a good deal more expensive, and this new one is actually priced pretty good. Operation is still a fun game. Just know what you are getting into if you have memories of the old version.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Classic game

    This is a CLASSIC, fun game. For younger kids (even 3 yo's) can benefit with fine motor skills by playing. For older kids it's just plain fun! Everyone loves the buzzer when you touch the edge of the game board. It's silly, and great for the entire family. For those of you who haven't played it before.... the board is the shape of a silly looking man. There are slots in which "body parts" are in. You have to use the tweezers to remove the parts without toughing the edge of the slot where the parts are. If you do touch the edges, a buzzer goes off.

    1.0 out of 5 stars not so great

    We bought this game for Christmas. Not as good as it used to be. The holes(in the Body) are much too big for the pieces. It isn't very fun if no one hits the metal sides fishing out the pieces. We have 3 children- 4, 6 and 11. We played about 3 games together because our son was excited to play it. Out of the entire 3 games, only our 4 year old son hit the metal side once! Like I said, it isn't any fun if you retrieve the piece every time. Waste of money. Skip this "updated" version and find the old school operation at a garage sale!

    Who doesn't love the classic "Operation" game? The game was purchased as a Christmas gift for a nephew and we've since enjoyed countless hours of careful extraction with a few zaps in between.
    The item arrived in mint condition very quickly. As of April 2016 we've experienced no issues with anything breaking or coming apart-- this game gets some serious playing time! A definite crowd pleaser and my nephew was thrilled on Christmas morning.

    The game was missing pieces, buzzer did not work, appeared to have been an old already used model. It was supposed to have been new for the price. Very disappointed as it was a Christmas gift.
