Classic game
Not as well made as it was when I was a kid in the 1980s, but what is? I loved this game as a kid and still do. We bought this as a gift for our 5 year old. It’s funny watching him with the same panic and stress of trying to play without making the buzzer go off that adults feel too. Classic game!

A classic game for all ages, if supervised. Why have they never added another bag or two of bones?.
My grandson needed to go to the hospital for stitches at the age of 4 years old. I ordered this for him wo when he came home, he could play doctor. This game arrived in 2 days and he was scared by the buzzer but eventually got used to it.This game came out when I was a tween, but at the time, there were no ages listed on games, and it was new! The biggest problem with this game is that it only comes with the bones and parts needed for this game and these little pieces get lost easily. There should be one or two bags of extra parts so the game will have longevity in the home.It’s a fun game and teaches children coordination and dexterity. Unfortunately, the essential pieces are usually long lost before the battery dies.

Great game, but to hard for little kids
I loved this game growing up. Got it for my grandkid (4-5), but it’s a bit too challenging for them at this age. Looking forward to the future and lots of fun playtime.

You need this game in your home!
I’ve recently picked up Operation to introduce it to my niece, and it instantly brought back so many fun memories! This game is perfect for both kids and adults, combining skill, patience, and a little bit of humor. The setup is super simple, and the concept is easy to understand—remove the “funny bone” or “water on the knee” without setting off the buzzer. That buzzer sound and the red nose lighting up still make everyone jump and laugh.Overall, Operation is a fantastic choice for family game night or just a fun distraction on a rainy day. It’s challenging enough to keep everyone engaged, and the silly ailments add a lot of charm. Definitely worth adding to your game collection!

Works great and it is the original which is better then the newest version. It takes 2 AA batteries instead of the big D Battery that would never stay in place on my older one.
