Review: Hungry hippo - A Hilarious, Hungry, Hippo-Sized Hit: Why This Classic Game Still Reigns Supreme Forget the latest video game craze, the intricate strategy board games that require a PhD to understand, or the trendy fidget toys that are yesterday's news. If you're looking for pure, unadulterated, laugh-out-loud fun for the whole family (and I mean everyone), then you need the Hungry Hungry Hippos game in your life. This isn't just nostalgia talking; this is a testament to a game that has stood the test of time and continues to deliver smiles and shrieks of delight. From the moment you crack open the box, the vibrant, chunky plastic hippos with their wide, expectant googly eyes beckon you. The simple setup – just snap the hippos onto the base, release the marbles, and you're ready to rumble – is a breath of fresh air in a world of complicated instructions and endless rulebooks. Even my youngest niece, who struggles with most games, grasped the concept instantly. It's beautifully intuitive: you press the hippo's tail, they chomp down, and hopefully, they gobble up some marbles. That's it. Pure, unadulterated, glorious simplicity. But don't let the simplicity fool you. Beneath the surface of frantic chomping lies a chaotic, exhilarating competition that will bring out the kid in everyone. The tension builds as the marbles scatter, the hippos’ jaws snap with increasing ferocity, and the room fills with the rhythmic "CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP" that is the game's signature sound. It's a symphony of silly sounds and competitive spirit. What makes Hungry Hungry Hippos so brilliant is its universal appeal. It transcends age barriers. I've played with kids as young as four and grandparents in their seventies, and everyone is equally enthralled. There's something inherently satisfying about watching those plastic hippos devour marbles. It's primal, it's silly, and it's utterly addictive. Even when you're not playing, just looking at the hippos lined up, ready for action, brings a smile to your face. Beyond the sheer fun factor, Hungry Hungry Hippos also offers some sneaky educational benefits. It helps develop hand-eye coordination, improves reflexes, and even introduces basic counting skills (whoever gobbles the most marbles wins!). But don't tell the kids that; they're too busy having a blast to realize they're learning something. Now, let's talk about the quality. This isn't some flimsy toy that will break after a few plays. The Hungry Hungry Hippos game is built to last. The plastic is sturdy, the mechanisms are robust, and I've had my set for years, and it's still going strong. It can withstand the enthusiastic chomping of even the most rambunctious players. Some might argue that the game is repetitive, but I disagree. Every game is different. The marble distribution is never the same, the other players' strategies vary, and the sheer randomness of the hippo's chomping action keeps things fresh and exciting. It's a game that you can pull out time and time again, and it will always deliver a good time. In conclusion, Hungry Hungry Hippos is more than just a game; it's an experience. It's a catalyst for laughter, a bonding activity for families, and a guaranteed good time for anyone who dares to unleash their inner hippo. It's a classic for a reason, and it deserves a place in every family's game collection. Five stars? Absolutely. If I could give it six, I would. Now, if you'll excuse me, I hear some marbles calling my name… CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can a 2 year old enjoy this game?  Playing with another 2 year old?**
A: YES! A 2 years old is just the age for this game as long as he/she is not prone to putting things in his/her mouth. Both of my sons enjoyed this at two and still at 5 as well as many friends and cousins at that age.

**Q: Is the quality really as bad as the reviews say? I have such fond childhood memories of this game 😩 I want to get it for my own kids now.**
A: Yes. It really is THAT BAD. I hate that I paid $20.99 on this game 2 days ago. It's so cheaply made compared to the one I had as a child. In our case, the hippo heads don't want to lift up to eat the marbles. The marble launchers shoot the balls everywhere except into the main area. The base isn't anywhere close to being flat and hitting the hippo trails really hurts small hands. Please don't buy it. The quality really is that bad.

**Q: What diameter are the marbles?  I'd like to buy the game and replace the cheap plastic ones with 
better quality marbles.  Thanks**
A: They are slightly over a 1/2 inch (more precisely 9/16).  We have another game that uses regular marbles and we've tried them with the hippos game but they're too big.  They get stuck in the hippo's throat and don't empty out into the tray.  The cheap marbles really aren't all that bad (but there is a lack of them), it's the hippos that don't work well and the entire game is so cheap and light that it doesn't stay put when you have a bunch of kids pounding on the hippos.

**Q: How to unlock the tails from down position?**
A: Check for something blocking the levers on the bottom of game. If nothings blocking .. either call the company help desk or get a replacement
