Them Bones Board Game | BoardGames.com | Your source for everything to do with Board Games

Description

A game similar to Operation in that you have to avoid touching a metal contact with your tweezers as you try to extract "bones" from the skull. In "Them Bones", however, successfully extracting a "bone" allows you to move further ahead on the game board. Bumping the contact will cause a buzzer to buzz and the eyes to glow red.

The set of glow-in-the-dark "bones" associated with this game includes "T-bones", "Ham Bones", "Trombones", and "Funny Bones".

First player to reach the end of the board wins.

For an extra challenge, players can take advantage of the fact that the skull and "bones" glow in the dark by turning out the lights during the extraction attempts. (The skeletal hand on the spinner also glows in the dark, but you can't read the dial with the lights off.)
