Operation style game delivers shock to loser

Shocking Autopsy is a Operation-style game that shocks you if your tweezers touch the edge of the metal lined cavity.

Stay calm and remember your medical training as you remove the weapons from this poor soul. But operate with care -- one false move and you're in for a shock! Includes a shock-free setting for kids or anyone who doesn't like shocks.

This game sounds like a lot more fun than the original. Beats the little buzz and the drawing of another card by the next player…

So that’s where all my Clue pieces went.

Are you kidding me? That buzzing used to scare the shit out of me as a kid.

I thought all Operation games already did that. Maybe the one I played as a kid was faulty…

@poosnews: I’m with you. This looks like a cheap Chinese knockoff…

This game sure is different. I could see a lawsuit being filed in the future

So basically this is just exactly the same game as Operation, but with the rubber protective coating removed from the tweezers, right?

Or a coroner’s report. Shocking yourself with an unregulated piece of equipment sounds like a great way to trigger arrhythmia

It is just me or does this game have a striking resemblance to Gersdorff’s sixteenth century “wound man“?

This game has been out for a long time. We have had it here at the house for about a year. Its fun when guests are over because there is an option for it to shock you or not. So we’ll play it in the “Scream” mode and then pass it over to the unsuspecting victim, hitting the “Shock” Button. Works every time. hahaha. Its not a bad game either. Its put together very well. I believe you can get it from Spencer’s.

Nothing like a bit of electricity to steady the hand…

As it’s an autopsy, the bloke’s already dead, I don’t see the necessity in being careful.

@ambroisebachot, wow sucks to be him. Yes it looks pretty much spot on.

This reminds me of those crazy Japanese game shows.
