Operation Electronic Board Game with Doctor Cards and Funny Ailments, 1+ Player, Funny Kids' Games, for Boys & Girls aged 6 Plus

This item was bought as a gift for two children of differing ages. 4.5 years old and the other is nearly 7. The game comes with batteries included so from opening to starting the first go, was probably only 5 minutes. Initial Setup includes 3 steps: * Step 1 - Pushing circa 16 cards from a cardboard holder (circa 1 minute to do). * Step 2 - Releasing the items to be inserted in the body from a plastic holder, which is easily done by twisting the individual items one at a time (circa 2 minutes). * Step 3 - Placing the items into the body by matching the shape of the items to the images on the game board. Note you also need to insert the rubber band which is held on its own in a small plastic resealable bag (circa 1 minute). Then comes the fun 😊. We initially tried playing by the rules but quickly realised that both children were struggling to use the tweezers to pick up the items, so we are currently focusing on learning that skill rather than playing competitively initially and that will take some time to master. Both kids are delighted though and really enjoyed the challenge and can't wait to play properly. My only criticism of the game is that some of the body items are smaller than a 5mm measurement and as they are white/bone like in appearance they could be very easily lost,.

Operation is the perfect game if you’ve ever wanted to perform surgery with the grace of a nervous caffeinated squirrel. Every round turns into a mix of laughter, panic, and someone yelling “STOP TOUCHING THE SIDES!” My family hasn’t mastered a single extraction, but we’ve mastered screaming when the buzzer goes off.

Tried and tested game. what you would expect.

Classic family game for all

Fantastic fun !

Such a great vintage game, on Amazon it’s great value for money. Teaches turn taking and develops hand eye coordination. Good fun trying not to make the buzzer sound. Suitable for adults and children playing against each other.

Still a great game for kids and adults alike but the modern version is a lot more expensive than it used to be and feels cheaper. The cards are on a perforated sheet which you have to tear apart yourself, not pre-cut. They're thin card too. The artwork is more cartoony than I remember and the plastic objects not as detailed. The gameplay is still the same but the worst decision was to have a bit whopping hole in the lid of the box, presumably so people can push the guys nose in the shop. As a game with lots of tiny pieces they're prone to falling about the box, and the hole on the lid makes it inevitable some are going to fall out and get lost. And for this game in particular it's not very playable with missing pieces and you can't really substitute something else for any missing ones. Not a good design decision. Definitely not an improvement on the original version of Operation we all remember.

Good thanks

Je suis déçu 😔 car je pensais avoir un jeu en français pas en anglais .... mais sinon conforme au docteur 👨‍⚕️ maboule

Comprato per i mibi bambini a cui piacciono i giochi in scatola, è stato un successo annunciato. Chiaramente la poca destrezza penalizza ma il gioco resta divertente. Spedizione nei tempi stabiliti e pacco integro.

¿Quién no lo ha jugado de pequeño? Divertido, entretenido y con mucha vibración cuando lo haces mal, quizá un poco de más pero bueno, a los niños les gusta así, por lo que todo bien. La calidad de las piezas y del juego general está bastante bien.

Tolles Spiel

Lovely to precise and concentration
