How it plays
Pick your mode first. In Hospital mode you draw a Bandage card and try to tweeze out the ailment it names; brush the edge of the cavity and Sam's nose lights up with a buzz. In Emergency mode the cards stay in the box and everyone races the clock, while Sam burps, sneezes, and yelps at every slip. Most ailments removed wins.
We refreshed this edition for today's little surgeons. The pieces and the board are a bit bigger than before, a built-in drawer keeps the parts together, and the whole thing closes into a handled case. A game lasts about ten minutes, so it fits neatly between homework and bedtime.
