• Playing a doctor, kids travel through space and time to repair their time machine in the game Doctor Who. Villians called Daleks roam through space trying to keep Doctor Who from repairing his time machine. One player will roll a die with 12 sides and move their playing piece. They have to follow the directions on the space they land on, such as collecting a time machine piece or losing a turn. After they do so, it is another player's turn. The first doctor to collect all of the pieces to repair their time machine will win the game. This game is for ages 7 and up and can be played with two-to-six players.
  The classic game Operation is played by removing body parts from a patient named Sam. The game board has cavities with the body parts of Sam that need to be removed.

The player who has the most money after all of Sam's body parts are removed is the winner. This game is for one or more players and is for ages 6 and up.
