Description
You’re—BZZZT!—basically a doctor. It’s the favorite kids board game with exciting updates! In this edition of the Operation game, choose from 2 ways to play: classic gameplay in Hospital mode or an edge-of-your-seat frenzy in Emergency mode. In Hospital mode, little doctors draw Bandage cards for wacky ailments. The suspense builds as they try to keep their hands steady while operating on Cavity Sam or—BZZZT!—his red nose lights up! In Emergency mode, the race is on to remove as many ailments as possible before time’s up. But oops! If the tweezers hit the side, Cavity Sam will burp, yelp, and make other hysterical sounds that keep kids giggling! In both modes, whoever removes the most ailments wins—and “heals” their patient. This preschool game comes in an all-in-1 carrying case with storage, so it’s a great kids travel game for anytime, anywhere play.

Amazing for ASD
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game was one I wasn’t sure about in my house with neuro-spicy children. How ever my ASD son loves it. The noise isn’t too loud when he touches the metal. The portability is amazing for him to take on the go when he see his OT & speech.

Awesome gift for all ages!
This game brings back childhood memories. I purchased three of these games to give as presents for Christmas. I work as a nurse and thought they would make awesome gifts for coworkers. The fact that they were on sale made them so much better.

Bought this for my daughter because she loves board games. The pieces are so small and cheap. You can barely even see what they’re supposed to be because they’re so small. What bummed us out even more was the fact that that we couldn’t even play the game because the screw that goes to the battery compartment came out of the box stripped and we couldn’t even open it to put batteries in. Going to consider getting a replacement and see if we can at least get batteries in it but not sure if it’s worth it at this point.

Nice and convenient size.
Nice size and the bones are nicer. The product is more durable than the old one which is cardboard.

More pros than cons
Smaller than the original version, this can be tricky for kids on the younger age range. However the fact that it folds and closes securely is a plus to keep the pieces together and store away. It’s also a great game to take on a trip.

Cheap not the original
I don’t know why this has so many good reviews. It’s so cheap. Nothing like the OG Operation. Disappointed in how cheap the pieces are.
