- A plastic insert
- A game board with a metal sheet
- 11 plastic parts
- A rubber band
- Two plugs
- A battery unit with a red nose light
- A pair of tweezers
- 24 cards
- Play money
Style of play
preparation
First the playing cards are divided into doctor and specialist cards and both stacks are shuffled. The specialist cards are then evenly distributed to all players. Remaining specialist cards are put aside. After that, a banker is appointed who pays for the successful operations. Finally, the plastic parts are placed in the appropriate indentations and the elastic band in the larger opening in the right leg, without stretching it around the pins in it.
Course of the game
The youngest player starts. In each turn the player draws a doctor card that states which item has to be removed. If the tweezers can be used to remove the part from the opening without touching the edge, the operation was successful and the amount on the doctor's card is paid out by the banker. If the metal edge is touched with the tweezers, a noise is heard, the patient's nose lights up and the object must be put back again. In the case of surgery with the elastic band, it must be stretched around both pins in the opening without touching the edge.
If an operation was unsuccessful, the player can try the operation with the appropriate specialist card. If he is successful, the higher amount will be paid out on the specialist card. If neither of them manages to remove the item, the doctor card is put back under the pile and it is the next player's turn.
Playing
The game ends when all pieces have been removed. The player with the most money wins the game.
expenditure
In 2007, an issue was published under the name "Senior Doctor Doctor Bibber" in which a monitor is installed at the top of the game board, which shows the winner after the game. In this version, the game board has the shape of a fold-out suitcase.
In 2008, an edition of the game was published in which the things to be operated on are determined by the noises that are made when the patient's nose is pressed. There is also a switch with which you can choose between three levels of difficulty. In the case of the difficulty marked with a lightning bolt, there is no sound when the edges of the openings are touched. The winner is not determined here on the basis of money, but on the number of successfully operated parts.
In 2010 there was a Toy Story issue in which Buzz Lightyear is the patient.
