How Much Did the OPERATION Board Game Sell For in 1965?
657In 1963, when the inventor of the board game Operation stuck a safety pin into a light socket and shocked himself, instead of learning his lesson, he decided to replicate the experience so everyone could feel the same zap that he did. 2 years later, he sold the patent for the game to Milton Bradley for a paltry $500. They’ve sold over 45 million copies of the game. That’s enough to give you brain freeze. So now you know.

Operation is a dexterity game in which you must extract silly body parts from a hapless patient. In the course of the game you acquire cards which dictate that you must remove a certain piece from the body of the patient. To do this you use a set of tweezers that are attached by wire to the game board. If you are sloppy and touch the metal sides of the hole where the item is located, the patient's pain is indicated by a sudden buzzer and light-up nose. Successful extractions net cash, and the player with the most cash at the end of the game is the winner.
