Q: does it work better than old game

submitted by cc - 2 years ago

  • A: Played this the other day at a kids speech therapy appointment. I was very impressed. It was much better than one I bought 5 years ago. I love the thoughtful storage and travel features. The levers fold and the marble container fits right into the center of the game for easy storage in its original box.

    submitted byChelsea - 2 years ago

  • A: No it doesn't. The hippo heads get stuck and the mechanism to pop the balls back into the pit doesn't work well. More cheaply made than the 90s version.

Q: What happens to the marbles after they are eaten?

submitted by AI Shopping Assistant - 4 months ago

    Great game!

    Great game! Always wanted this as a child but never got to play it so I bought it for our 3 year old son and he (and us) loved it. Bonus points for the fact that they have an actual clear case that attaches to the game to keep the balls/marbles safely and secured

    One of the only games my 3 year old toddler can play with the rest of the family. Simple enough for her to understand but still fast paced enough for the adults to enjoy too. Would love a Disney princess version too.

    Hippos malfunction

    Hippos get stuck while pushing black lever. Intermittently the hippo head doesn’t even rise up to collect the balls.

    Classic Game 4 All Ages!

    Kids are so hard to please with now-a-days! I got this for a 4 year old boy who is way too attatched to his ipad. Well this game got him to leave the tablet. It was a hit for Christmas and kids from ages 4 - 9 were addicted and played for a great amount of time. It was on sale as well! Great for boys and girls!

    Perfect right out of the box!

    Great game! The box is very durable, my son loves the hole in the hippos mouth & the container that the marbles come in. So easy to set up & put away.

    Get this game. Great price and good product

    Perfect game for my young one. She loves to play this game multiple times a week. So glad she gets to enjoy games I played as a child, and that the quality of product is still there.

    Classic

    Definitely cute! The only weird part is the lever that is supposed to “launch” the balls. It doesn’t work so we just drop the balls all at once and play like that.
