*Operation is a dexterity game in which you must extract silly body parts from a hapless patient. It was introduced in 1965 by Hasbro and designed by John Spinello, and is a variation on the archaic electrified wire loop game favored at theme parks. It consists of an “operating table”, imprinted with a clownish likeness of a patient (nicknamed “Cavity Sam”) with a large red lightbulb for his nose.
