Yes this can be a great family game. You have a silly naked man for a board and he has odd cutouts in his body. Within these cutouts are placed various "body parts" that you will have to retrieve with your tweeeeesers. The surgical instrument is wired to the board so that if you touch the side of the cut-out your patients red nose will light up and you will hear a buzz. To play you take turns drawing cards from a deck that list the various body parts to be removed. Each part has a $ value based upon the difficulty of removing it. If you are successful at removing it you will be paid the money on the card. Once all the parts are removed the person with the most .  Read the complete review

Operation is a fantastic game for all the family, which has been around for many years. The object of the game is to successfully remove body parts from the patient with a pair of tweezers, without setting off a buzzer. All around the edge of the 'wound', from which you must remove the body parts, there is metal plating. When this comes into contact with the metal tweezers, a circuit is completed and a buzzer sounds, as well as the patient's nose lighting up bright red. Therefore this game requires a steady hand to remove the body parts without touching the edge of the wound. The game itself is very flimsily made, reflecting the relatively cheap ...  Read the complete review

When I was growing up one of my favourite board games to play was Operation, it was because of my love for this game that my nan was convinced I would grow up to be a nurse... this never happened, I faint when I see gory things and my head goes woozy when I see the smallest cut with a tiny bit of blood! The game Operation thankfully involves no blood and gore and it is good, clean fun. I'm still not sure what happened to my Operation game, however about 2 years ago my little brother James received Operation from Santa and I got to re-live my childhood all over again! The 'operating table' or game board features a man lying down and various holes all ...  Read the complete review

There are many games on the market these days with some being as dull as dish water whilst others offer lots of fun for people of all ages, and it is the latter that I intend to tell you about today. The game I am talking about, of which I have played many many times, both in the passed and very recently, may look a little bit strange at first glance, with the idea of pulling things from a persons body coming across as a bit gruesome, but it is in fact one of the funniest, and least offensive game I have had the pleasure of actually playing. What is the game called? It is simply called 'Operation' and allows people to harmlessly operate on a pretend person ...  Read the complete review

My daughter is a fan of board games, anything that gets the family together for a good old fashioned squabble is great fun in her mind, and I must admit I rather enjoy them too. At Christmas on her list to Santa Claus was the good old Operation game by MB Games. After scouring the internet, I found that this is available in a number of formats from travel, to a one very close in style and design to the original that I had as a kid, and the newest version, the one with 'sound FX'! This is a silly skill game, where you need to have good hand/eye coordination and be slightly deaf, if not, you will be by the time you have finished, it is that ...  Read the complete review
