Editorial Product Review:Item Description:Perform a successful operation and you earn money - make a mistake, and you set off an alarm! Cavity Sam's got butterflies in the stomach, spare ribs and writer's cramps! Remove these with the tweezers, but don't get caught by the buzzer. One or more players. Requires 2 'AA' batteries (not included).
Editorial Review: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.

Even The Box Cover is Scary!
I don't think it's funny if a child is scared or otherwised offended by this game. By no means is "fear" a measure of a child's worth now or when they grow up. Actually, it's plain common sense to dislike a game that has such graphic detail on the box. This game should not be suggested for children under 12. Unless your one of those who enjoy blood, guts, & mayhem!

Not pleased with the quality
I thought the quality of this game was pretty low. All of the pieces keep shifting quite a bit whenever the tweezers come in contact with the metal sides. It makes it a lot more difficult to remove the parts. Not what I remembered from the original Operation.

Silly Giggles!
Get ready for a few laughs with the kids. Don't compare it to the stress you suffer over bad HMO's or the decline of civilization as we know it.
This is the stupid-funny game you played as a kid, and it's about time you had a few guffaws with no redeeming social value!!
Add an extra star if you believe that laughter is a good aerobic activity!
