Operation is a battery-operated game of physical skill that tests players’ hand-eye co-ordination and fine motor skills. Originally made by Milton Bradley, and currently made by Hasbro. It has been in production since 1965, the year in which the game was invented by John Spinello.
Players take turns picking Doctor cards, which offer a cash payment for removing each particular ailment, using a pair of tweezers connected with wire to the board. Successfully removing the ailment is rewarded according to the dollar amount shown on the card. However, if the tweezers touch the metal edge of the opening (i.e., closing the circuit) during the attempt, a buzzer sounds, Sam’s nose lights up red, and the player loses the turn. The player holding the Specialist card for that piece then has a try, getting double the fee if he or she succeeds. Since there will be times when the player drawing a certain Doctor card also holds the matching Specialist card, that player can purposely botch the first attempt in order to succeed on the second try for double value.
The winner is the player with the most money after all the pieces have been extracted.
