Product Overview

Hungry Hippos is the fast, frantic marble-chomping game families have been slapping the levers for. Two to four players each control a hungry hippo, racing to gobble up as many marbles as possible before the other side clears the board. Setup is quick, and a marble reload feature keeps rounds going without a lot of downtime for reflex-testing rematches. Built for ages 4 and up, it's an easy pick for game night or a rainy afternoon.

  • Two to four players compete head-to-head as hungry hippos, chomping for marbles in a fast, reflex-driven race
  • Quick marble reload keeps the action going for round after round
  • Four colorful hippos give the board a vibrant, kid-friendly look
  • Included marble storage case keeps pieces organized and makes cleanup easy
  • Easy setup makes it a simple choice for game night
