Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Four hippos, 20 marbles and only one aim--what's not to like! Hungry Hippos is the frantic marble munching game that's a hilarious way to develop your pre-schooler's hand-eye coordination. Start with one marble in the middle for the littlest players and then add more and more as their skills improve. Of course, for older players and long-time devotees of the game you can always just chuck all the marbles in the middle, engage in a spot of fast and furious fun and see whose Hippo can eat the most. Box includes: game base, 4 hippos (Henry, Harry, Homer and Happy), 4 levers, 20 marbles, label sheet and full instructions. Made of sturdy plastic--so that the hippos won't break--and simple to assemble, this game is an absolute classic. But please note that the box contains small marbles, which can be a choking hazard for small children.


Product Description

There's a rumble in the jungle with these Hungry Hippos! All the hippos love to munch on marbles... they just can't get enough! But which hippo's the hungriest? See which hippo gobbles the most in this feeding frenzy. Hungry Hippos is a great childrens game for a rainy day.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun, don't think it will last long, 24 Dec 2007
By M. Cann (Berkshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 
Hungry Hippos is a terrific and simple game for families to play together - my kids (both under 4 years old) love it even though they are too young to understand the rules properly: simply launch the marbles into the arena and frantically press the button on your hippo to capture as many marbles as you can.

[This refers to the game bought new from a source other than Amazon.co.uk in Dec 2007]
Be warned that Hasbro have changed the board from that pictured above (at the time of writing) so you may not receive quite what you expect:
i) the Hippos are no longer mounted *on* the base, you need to attach them to the *edge* of the base yourself
ii) once constructed the board (base+hippos) does not fit in the box so you have the choice:
ii-a) never pack it away into its box when you are done playing with it
ii-b) remove the hippos after every play with the very real risk that you will break them. This prevents a child from being able to put the game away themselves.

As a consequence of my experience with this and another modernized implementation of a MB game (Downfall) I am less inclined to buy other modern versions of "classic" MB games without first seeing them in the flesh.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and learning, 25 Nov 2005
By A Customer
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
We have had this game for 5 years now - and, as a family, we still play it on a regular basis. It's great fun and can be used to teach counting to begin with - but be imaginative, buy some coloured marbles and each colour has a different point value to teach addition and multiplication. But above all - it is FUN, FUN, FUN!

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This game is built to last! Very durable. Great fun for all ages as long as you watch the little ones that they dont swallow the little balls. Very popular choice in our house. It does get quite noisy though!
