operation

summer nights remind me of boardgame nights of old ~

operation is a classic ~

made by milton bradley originally in 1965 ~

a skill game ~

i'm going for those pesky butterflies in the stomach ~

yeah i'm cheating because i don't have the required 2 d batteries in there ~

this guy's nose should be lighting up & an obnoxious buzzing sound giving me away ~

there's only so much a doctor can do ~

before you have to call in a specialist ~

the mini version ~

all our money seems to be gone.. how appropriate ~

funny bone required ~

this guy's ailments have changed over the years ~

but isn't that true for us all? ~

just click on games in the category list anytime for more ~
