Nightmare Before Christmas Operation

The game of Operation has always been a fun family favorite. Now that the patient is a certain Oogie Boogie, the fun has entered a whole new dimension in this Nightmare Before Christmas Operation game. You are no longer looking for the ordinary objects lurking inside the hapless patient in the original game of Operation. Oogie Boogie has some questionable nasties lurking inside his body at the best of times. Now he has some Funatomy parts that need to be removed. Armed with a pair of tweezers and no medical training, it’s all down to you. It’s going to be such fun!

12 Funatomy Parts

There are a total of 12 spine-tingling ‘Funatomy’ parts infesting Oogie Boogie and you are the resident surgeon in charge of this Nightmare Before Christmas Operation. Keep your wits and your nerve as you excavate his twisted torso to discover the hidden nasties that lurk beneath the burlap.

Find the deck of cards in his ‘Club Foot’ and the set of keys that will loosen up his ‘Lock Jaw’. Keep your ‘Fingers Crossed’ as the cards reveal which nocturnal nasty needs removing next. This oozie, ookie, Oogie Boogie is known to suffer a ‘Dizzy Spell’ or two. He’s not been the same since he threw his back out during a lively performance of the Monster Mash last Halloween.

Operation Oogie Boogie

When you draw a ‘Doctor Card’ it is your turn to find out what part of his ailing anatomy you are going to aim for next. Keep a steady hand on those tweezers! If you touch the edges of his skin (burlap sack) you may unleash the wrath of the Oogie Boogie. His eyes and mouth will flash a zombie green color and who knows what will happen next. We hear he can be a difficult patient.

Description

It’s time for a Nightmare Before Christmas Operation. You and the other players are doctors and your patient is Oogie Boogie. He is prepped and ready for his procedure. You have a stack of cards to help you through this operation and you will get paid. He doesn’t have insurance, big surprise, but he does have a lot of cash. Oogie Boogie’s money looks pretty cool too.

Your mission is to remove all the Funatomy parts from his body before you can collect your fee. Make sure you don’t get gazzumped by a fellow doctor with a Specialist card, they might double-down and steal your dough. The parts you are going to have to remove from Oogie Boogie consist of: a snake, spider, dice, worms needle and thread, roulette wheel, card deck, keys, bones, scorpion, a bat and a bug. Keep your head and don’t lose your lunch.

Verdict

Fans of Nightmare Before Christmas are going to have great fun playing this twist on an established game of Operation. This Nightmare Before Christmas Operation game is a great game for Halloween, Christmas, birthdays, or any day you fancy operating without the need for a license.

Your patient is Oogie Boogie. He has the usual nasties inside him and 12 more that need to be removed. If you touch his sides with the tweezers Oogies eyes and mouth flash and you will hear him speak. Any self respecting surgeon would need paying big bucks to work on a patient like Oogie Boogie so you will be glad to hear you can win Oogie Boogie dollars. Good luck taking that to the bank. Same old Oogie.

In 2004 NECA brought out Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas Board Game. This has become a collector’s item and is rather sought after. Much like the movie, it has a simple premise that is easy to follow and enormous fun.

Object of the Game

The aim of the game is simple. In order to win you must be the first player to complete 3 steps:

Firstly you must ‘kidnap’ Santa. (Don’t worry, it all ends well.) You must then play the game until such time you have earned 100 points. At this stage you can attempt to defeat Oogie Boogie.

What do you get in the box?

Spinner

At certain points in the game, the spinner is used to determine the outcome of a move. The spinner consists of a circle with 8 segments divided into: Escape, Win, Escape, Lose, Escape, Win, Escape, Lose.

Dice

Two dice are included in the game. These are thrown by each player in turn to determine their number of moves around the board.

Cards

This game includes a pack of 60 playing card. These consist of 8 Santa cards and 52 picture cards. The eight santa cards have a red face with a sketch of Santa. The picture cards show images of characters from the movie. These 52 cards each have a number in the top left corner which is either a 5, 10, 15 or 20, so there are 8 cards of each number. Once you have ‘kidnapped’ Santa and collected 100 points you can challenge Oogie Boogie.

Player Pieces

There are 6 player pieces which are beautifully crafted head pieces cast in a heavy metal. These include: Jack,Sally, Dr Finkelstein, Lock, Shock & Barrel.

Game Board

The well constructed, colorful game board contains a number of locations inspired by the Nightmare Before Christmas movie and there are interconnecting paths between them. The locations consist of: The woods, Finkelstein’s lab, Sally’s room, Lock, Shock and Barrel’s Tree house, Town Square, the Graveyard and Christmas Town. An additional location, Oogie Boogie’s lair, sits disconnected from the others.

Verdict

Nightmare Before Christmas the board game has simple, easy to follow rules and is easy to pick up. Suitable for children of 8 years and above, it is a good game for the whole family and certainly one to bring out for Halloweem Christmas or family games night. This game is beautifully made with a sturdy, colorful game board and solid, metal player pieces. After kidnapping Santa, simply work your way around the board, collecting cards until your score reaches 100. The spinner will determine whether your challenge of Oogie Boogie sees you crowned Pumpkin King or retired to the sidelines.

NECA Nightmare Before Christmas Trading Card Game

This game is aimed at players who are 10 years and over. A typical game duration is 45 minutes. This game was designed by Andrew Parks and Zev Sclasinger.

The Nightmare Before Christmas Trading Card Game is an interactive, fast-playing trading card game featuring the characters and places within the Nightmare Before Christmas movie. Much like Jack dreamed of owning Christmas, the players have 12 days in the lead up to Christmas to create their own, individual scary version of Christmas in Halloween Town. The game is packed with locales and surprises to keep the sense of suspense and action exciting througout the game. When the 12 days are up and Christmas arrives, the person with the scariest town is the winner.

How to create your Halloween Town

During the 12 rounds of the game, which represent the 12 day countdown to Christmas, each player plays CHARACTERS below his LOCALE in order to make his Halloween Town the most scary and to activate his LOCALES so he can use their FUNCTIONS.

The FUNCTIONS of the LOCALES allow players to draw cards into their hands, add PUMPKIN POINTS and move their characters around Halloween Town.

Each character has a SCARE NUMBER in the upper left corner of their card that determines how scary that character is, and how many SCARE POINTS the character is worth at the end of the game. Characters also use their SCARE NUMBERS to activate the LOCALES they visit in Halloweentown.

Players also play CREATIONS to rack up lots of SCARE POINTS and play SURPRISES to challenge their opponents
and engage in various other fun activities. At the end of the 12 days (12 rounds) whoever has the most scare points in their Halloween Town is the undisputed Pumpkin King of Christmas. That is, they win.

Verdict

If you enjoy trading card games and love Nightmare Before Christmas then you are going to get a lot of enjoyment our of these cards. This is a great game to get out at Halloween or Christmas to enjoy with like-minded Nightmare Before Christmas enthusiasts, even if they are new to trading card games.
