Description
Marbles roll around the middle of a little blue pond, while two hungry hippos wait at its edge. Hungry Hungry Hippos Grab & Go is a travel version of the popular children's game, with everything built into a single game unit. Since nothing can get lost, you can take it with you on a trip, to grandma's or to the seaside.
How to play Hungry Hungry Hippos
Before playing, return any marbles from the collection area to the middle. Each player picks a hippo, with the youngest choosing first. The player whose birthday comes next calls out “GO!”, and then both players press their hippo's tail as fast as they can to make it gobble up marbles. The hippo that eats the most marbles wins.
In the bonus game, the player whose hippo is the first to catch the golden marble wins.
Why you'll love it
- The rules take one sentence to explain, so children can start playing right away.
- Frantic tail-pressing and munching hippos always get everyone laughing.
- The whole game sits in one closed unit, so the marbles don't scatter across the floor and you can take it along without worry.
- The bonus game with the golden marble adds fresh excitement, since only one catch counts.
Who is Hungry Hungry Hippos for
The game is for two players aged 4 and up and suits the youngest children who are just getting to know board games. A game is over quickly, so you can play again and again. The game itself has no text on it.
What you might not like
The game is loud and comes down mostly to finger speed, so it may not be the best fit for those who prefer games with more thinking.
