About this item

Highlights

  • CLASSIC OPERATION GAMEPLAY: A favorite kids game for generations! With the Operation electronic game, kids get to play "the doctor" and perform "surgery" to make Cavity Sam better--or they get the buzzer
  • SKILL AND COORDINATION: In this fun game for kids, players use skill and coordination to remove all kinds of easy-grab wacky ailment pieces with the tweezers without hitting the sides of the cavities
  • UNPREDICTABLE AND FUNNY GAME FOR KIDS: When a player hits the sides with the tweezers, kids can giggle as—buzzzzz!—the surprising buzzer goes off and Cavity Sam's red nose lights up
  • COLLECT MOST MONEY TO WIN: Earn money for every successful removal of a Funatomy part that doesn't set off the buzzer. The player with the most money at the end of the game wins
  • PLAY SOLO OR WITH FRIENDS: The Operation board game is an easy to learn game for kids to play alone or a fun party game with friends. It also makes a great holiday or birthday gift for kids ages 6 and up

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 fun for the whole family on Family Game Night and a laugh-out-loud game for playdates. Looking for fun gifts for kids? Classic board games for families make great kids gifts any time of the year!

Q: kind and how many batteries for game?

submitted by Lisa M Daley - 3 years ago
  • A: Thank you for your question. Requires 2x 1.5V AA Alkaline Batteries. (Not Included)

Q: There are two different versions pictured. How do we know which one we will get? Has anyone ordered this lately? If so, did you get the "beach body" version or the more classic looking Sam? The details here show UPC: 630509441600.

submitted by carmen - 8 years ago
  • A: I got the one with the UPC# 630509441600 (DCPI # 87-10-0941) and it's NOT the BEACH version. I was glad I got this one because it looks more like the original--with spaces that curve around the body parts, making it more challenging. I like that the buzzer on this new version is not as jarring as it was when I was a kid.

    CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

    LMac - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
    The game is fun of course, but the manufacturers really cheeped out. The walls are short in between sections, the sections are wide, so some of the pieces become completely hidden. There’s no storage drawer like the original to store the pieces.

    My granddaughter opened this Christmas morning, and the demo batteries were corotted in it. We tried getting the corrosion out but couldn't.

    Almost impossible to pick up the pieces. The tweerers and bone pieces are so cheaply made. Very disappointed.

    Dislike: box damaged (no bid deal if game is ok)…demo batteries corroded (no big deal if it didn’t damage the component)…missing two of the ailments, pencil and bread (not sure how this is possible since the packaging appeared closed from factory). This was for a 6yo birthday party.

    I can’t actually rate the Operation game because it’s a Christmas gift for my Grandson. I’m just so excited I found the game when I Googled it because I didn’t know it still existed! Super glad I found it at Target, also. Love having the RedCard for 5% discount and in-store pickup.
