Mego Them Bones Game
Game Description:
Them Bones is very similar to Milton Bradley’s Operation in gameplay.
As players move around the board, they must use a pair of metal tweezers to extract various “bones” from the skull. Should they complete the task, they can move forward and receive a token. If they touch the sides, causing the Skeleton’s eyes to glow red along with a buzzing sound, they lose the turn.
The “Bones” you must extract consist of puns like “Trom-Bone,” “T-Bone” and of course, “Funny Bones.”
The first person to collect all four tokens wins the game.
Mego added glow-in-the-dark features to the game, prompting players to play in the dark for additional challenges..
