Unlike other versions of Operation that I have, this version does not have cards that tell you what piece to extract, or money to reward you for a successful operation.

The holes are cut to the shape of the piece, so once the piece is dropped in it may move around and not be in the correct position to remove when it is time. To begin, drop each piece into its matching hole on the board. I will say right up front that this game is not for the easily frustrated, as removing a piece may take several attempts, or those who don't like loud or shrill sounds. The tweezers are attached to the game board by a plastic coated wire. The pieces are small, anywhere from 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch tall, and must be removed with the metal tweezers that are included with the game. The object of Operation is simple - using the tweezers provided, remove parts from the victims body without touching the side and setting off the buzzer. Even the original version has gone through several updates over the years. There are numerous versions of the game Operation out there - Shrek, Star Wars, Toy Story - to name a few. In the box: 1 board (operation table), 4 minion medics, 11 funatomy parts
