Operation is an electronic board game for one or more players, ages 6 and up. A round takes about 10 minutes. Players act as doctors and use tweezers to remove ailments from the patient, Cavity Sam, without touching the sides. If they do, his red nose lights up and the game buzzes.
The game has two ways to play. In Hospital mode, players draw Bandage cards for wacky ailments and try to keep their hands steady. In Emergency mode, players race to remove as many ailments as they can before time runs out. If the tweezers hit the side, Cavity Sam burps, yelps and makes other funny sounds. In both modes, the player who removes the most ailments wins and "heals" the patient.
The game comes in an all-in-one carrying case with storage, so it can be taken along for play on the go.
