Editorial Review
Four hippos try to eat as many marbles as they can--as fast as they can. This game is fast-paced and riotous for kids who get to take turns popping a white marble into the ring, then furiously pressing on their hippo's levered tail to catch the prize. As if that's not enough, in the advanced game, all 20 marbles are released at the same time. Utter mayhem ensues, and whoever snares the most marbles wins. If only it would get kids to clean their plates as well as those pudgy hippos do! --Lynne Sampson

Customer Reviews

No way to store it!
My kids 4 and 6 got this game for the holidays. Although they love playing with it the pieces come apart from the game constantly. Also since the box is so small it is very difficult to store. We like to keep all of our games neat and together and this one is impossible to keep track of. I will have to buy a storage container just to keep track of the pieces. I think the milton bradley really goofed on this one!

Cheap and doesn't function properly
I loved this game when I was a kid. That is why I was so excited to buy this and play it with my daughter. Where did this game end up? In the trash. The plastic "marbles" are worthless, did not roll correctly and the heads of the hippos fell off constantly. The whole thing was cheaply made. Unfortunately I do not have the one I grew up with. I agree with many of the other reviews. Save your money on this one. If you can find an original (not cheap plastic and plastic marbles) go for it.

Poor Quality Affects the Fun Factor
Four year old loves this game and frankly so do I. Hippos are poorly constructed and sometimes you have to do a timeout so you can fix them.
If only they made it like they did 25 years ago. Such a delightful game...if only...
And helloooo....you have to pull the whole toy apart and deconstruct the already flimsy turtles so you can fit it back in the box.
As long as I can stand it on the living room floor is how long we'll play with it. Too much hassle to pull it apart.
