Yeah I had Mousetrap, and as others said it barely worked which sucked a lot of the fun out of it. Also don’t remember there being cards in Operation, was it just to determine which body part you’re supposed to remove or did they do something else?
Each player gets a hand of “specialist” cards at the start. Each turn a player draws a “doctor” card and attempts to retrieve the part on the card and if they are successful are awarded the money listed on the card. If they aren’t successful the player who has the specialist card gets to attempt it and wins the (larger) sum of money listed on the specialist card. In some versions of the game, there air no “specialist” cards, only “doctor” cards
Maybe they improved quality control at some point (or decreased it before my time, idk), but as I recall, the issues were mostly with some of the later contraptions, like the diving board, the diver going into the tub, and the final cage itself.
I’m guessing it’s the reverse- quality control got less over time. The Mousetrap I’ve seen recently looks much crappier than the one we had, which was from the 70s. Which is weird since it’s just plastic.

I don’t get this complaint. What didn’t work? It always worked 100% for me.
