In the classic board game Operation, you get to perform surgeries on a patient who has a lot of quirky ailments.The goal of the game is to fix as many ailments as possible without touching the side of his injuries.As you and the other players remove his charlie horse, broken heart, and butterflies from his stomach, you will need to have excellent coordination and patience.Count up your reward money to find out who is the best doctor in the hospital.
Step 1: The person who will be the bank in your game.
The banker is in charge of handling money.The player will be given a monetary reward when they complete their surgery.Pick a player with good numbers who can handle this role.Like any other player, the banker can do surgeries.The game is organized if one person handles the money.
Step 2: All of the cards need to be separated and shuffled.
There are two types of cards in the game: Doctor and Specialist.If you want to mix the cards, make two different piles for each card.If you have played with these cards recently, you should spend more time shuffling them to make sure they are mixed well.There should be 12 Doctor and 12 Specialist cards.
Step 3: The equivalent hole for each plastic piece should be dropped.
The "Funatomy" pieces are the different body parts that you will attempt to extract from the patient.Drop it in the hole if you match each piece to its spot.The "Charlie Horse" piece would be dropped in the hole above Cavity Sam's knee.The "Ankle Bone Connected to the Knee Bone" will not be dropped into a hole.The piece should be looped over both narrow pegs.
Step 4: The board's batteries should be tested.
Touch the metal ends of the hole with the board's metal tweezers.The board should vibrate if the batteries work.Before you start, you may need to replace the batteries.
Step 5: Each player will be dealt the Specialist cards evenly.
If there are any Specialist cards left, put them aside for this round.The Doctor cards should be placed face down and within reach of every player.Specialist cards can be used without staying face down.You can look at your cards once the game starts.At a time, the operation is designed to accommodate 1-6 players.
Step 6: You have to take turns on Cavity Sam.
When it's your turn, draw a card from the Doctor pile and try to perform an operation on your body part.The metal tweezers can be used to remove the Funatomy piece from Cavity Sam's body.The buzzer will sound if you touch the sides.The operation was unsuccessful and your turn is over.When playing Operation, the youngest player goes first.In the 2008 edition, Cavity Sam will make a specific sound for each ailment.
Step 7: You can play by yourself as an alternative.
You can play the game on your own.You can remove all of the Funatomy pieces without hitting Sam's sides.
Step 8: If the operation went well, you should get your fee.
If you removed the Funatomy piece without setting off the buzzer, you're doing a good job.Look for the fee on the doctor's card and ask the bank for your reward.The Funatomy piece and the Doctor card are no longer in play.
Step 9: If the operation is not successful, let the specialist do it.
If you accidentally cause the buzzer to go off and Cavity Sam's nose to light up, all of the players should look at their Specialist cards.The person who was dealt the Specialist card can try to perform the operation.The reward on their card can be claimed if they are successful.The player with the spare rib specialist card has a chance to finish the operation if the player fails to remove thespare rib piece.Put the Doctor card back into the pile if the specialist is unsuccessful.The piece is back in action.
Step 10: An extra level of challenge can be added by setting a time limit.
Adding a time limit to your game is a way to make the game more difficult.If a rule is made that players have to get the piece out within 60 seconds, it will be the Specialist's turn.
Step 11: The game should be finished when all of the cards have been played.
Take turns until you remove all the Funatomy pieces from Cavity Sam.If your group is having trouble with the last piece, try to shorten the time limit or add money to the reward.
Step 12: The players' money should be counted to determine a winner.
The person who earned the most throughout the game is the winner.If two players earn the same amount, you can either declare a tie, recount, or have a second game to determine the overall champion.
Step 13: If you are playing by yourself, try to beat your personal record.
You can always improve your personal best if you play on your own.If you can make your fastest time yet, time yourself while playing the game.Try to go for 12 or even 10 minutes next time if you finish in 15 minutes.
Step 14: When you're finished playing, keep your game and pieces in a safe place.
Press down on their front and slide the tweezers into the compartment.There is a separate compartment underneath the game board.If you need a replacement for a board game piece, you can contact the company at: https://www.hasbro.com/en-us/customer-service/replacement-parts.
