Operation

About the game

What is Operation?

Ostensibly a travel-version of Operation, this game has players drawing point cards and sliding the appropriate named discs through the patient using the familiar contact-buzzer. However, the pieces are not gripped and removed, but are slid from the sides of the game board (at the patiences hands/feet) into an exit slot located in the centre (the patient's abdomen). Points are counted from the cards based on which pieces could be moved without sounding the buzzer.
