Operation Simpsons

This Homer Simpson version of the fabulously fun Operation game is sure to have players young and old in stitches (well, not literally, we hope). Homer is laid out on the table and amateur surgeons must take turns to operate on Homer and remove a part from his "funatomy" as directed by the playing cards. Homer’s ailments are unique and range from Bowler’s Thumb, where surgeons must withdraw a bowling pin from his digit, to Pot Belly, where a saucepot is lodged in his gut. A successful extraction earns the surgeon a significant chunk of change. However, if doctors accidentally brush the tweezers against the metal edge during surgery, a buzzer goes off and Homer’s nose lights up as he screams or says one of several trademark phrases, such as "Doh!" or "This is not good!" That’s when the big guns are called in. The player holding the Specialist card for that operation gets to attempt the procedure again—but this time for double the cash. When all of Homer’s organs have been removed, the doctor hoarding the most money is declared the winner. This Operation game is for one or more players and uses four "AAA" batteries (not included). --Cristina Vaamonde
