Operation: Shrek (USA-OP009-024)
Operation: Shrek is a skill and action game from The Op for 1 or more players, ages 6+, that plays in about 30 minutes.
How it plays
Shrek is suffering from a dozen ogre-sized ailments, from a Pain in the Butt (Donkey) to a Frog in the Throat. Make a mistake and his red nose lights up and he lets out an ogre roar.
It's the classic Operation challenge. Use the tweezers to carefully lift each Funatomy piece out of the patient without touching the sides.
Bump the edge and the buzzer goes off. Steady hands win the day.
Saga Table Talk
Great for: Kids and adults who like a steady-hand challenge, and fans who want a fun, themed piece for their collection.
