Mego Them Bones Game<\/p><\/div>\n

Game Description:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Them Bones<\/strong> is very similar to Milton Bradley’s Operation in gameplay.<\/p>\n

\"Mego<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The “Bones” you must extract consist of puns like “Trom-Bone<\/em><\/strong>,” “T-Bone<\/em><\/strong>” and of course, “Funny Bones<\/em><\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

The first person to collect all four tokens wins the game.<\/p>\n

Mego added glow-in-the-dark<\/strong> features to the game, prompting players to play in the dark for additional challenges..<\/p>\n
