Hasbro Gaming Elefun and Friends Hungry Hungry Hippos Game

For my friends kid that’s into hippos … he loves it

Great gift for kids. It was easy to put together and worked just liked I remember from when I was a kid, my niece loves it! Make sure you play on a flat surface and don't slam the hippos to hard they are only plastic after all. Wouldn't recommend for traveling. All in all it is what it's always been...hungry hungry hippos.

Love hungry hungry hippos! Got this for my partner and I to experience some childhood nostalgia and that’s exactly what it did! Will hold on to this forever.

My 5 year old loves this game, but I'm taking one star away because I've played the original and this one is more cheaply made. Once assembled, it also doesn't fit back in the box which I don't like. Your kids will still like it, but it is not exactly like the game you remember from your childhood.

And now my children will as well. A great game to play on family night.

Super cute teether, that works great. Easy for baby to hold. She loves it!!

I know a lot of people, like me, are coming to this from that tinge of nostalgia -- remembering how fun it was to play this game, smacking the @#$! out of these plastic handles trying to get the most marbles. and yes, the immediate joy of seeing and playing will hit you like schoolhouse rocks during Saturday morning cartoons.But, in the end, I don't think this is worth it, especially at 30 bucks (12 seems like more like it)And, it's not because of any false memories, simply remembering it being more entertaining than it was.There are some key differences that make this update so much worse for specific reasons:1) the entire board is smaller - there isn't much room for the marbles to roll around like they did. The board is also curved to a much less degree, which along with the reduced size just makes the mad dash seem like pure chaos in a boring way. the marbles don't roll and bounce and carom -- which is what made even the simple action of smacking the handle fun.2) the marbles are not real -- they are much less substantial so again they dont have that real roll and collisions thing that made the crazy randomness a little more enjoyable.3) The plastic is not that thick, weighty kind -- it's super cheap, bendy styled plastic which makes it almost impossible to play without also holding the entire thing with your other hand. It's just too light .. and moves around all over.4) The hippos (as noted) are detachable -- I get why they did this, for storage and size, but two of ours never really click in and totally come off when using them, not completely but just enough for them not to function properly.5) It's only half the size, part 2 -- there is no way 4 people can play this ... I cant even imagine how 4 5 year olds could sit around this, reach out their arms and not end up getting into some sort of dispute.So yeah, if it was 12 bucks, you'd get that one or two days of -- I played this when I was ... then it would go into that dark corner of the toy chest no one likes to think about. I'd really like to give it two stars, but those cherished memories are preventing me from dishonoring the original in such a way.

We Have a Blast Playing this Everyone is laughing
