There are many small white lightweight balls that come with the game, I really couldn't tell you how many, as they are all over my daughters bedroom floor at the moment. The Rules: The game is for up to four players. You choose a coloured hippo you want to be, or if there is only two of you, you can use two hippos each if you like. You share out the balls to each player, and you can fire them into the game as you please. We prefer to just throw them al...more

Hungry Hippos, what a classic! I had this when I was a little girl, and I now play this game with my 5 year old daughter. The Game: Hungry Hippos is made by Hasbro, MB games and has been around, and a very popular game since the early 70's The game comes in a firm cardboard box, expecting to be able to just pull the game out and start playing, I was very surprised to find that I had to assemble the game board. All of the hippos had to be slotted onto the game board, it wasn't difficult, as I followed the easy to follow instructions. There are four hippos, a green one, a pink one, an orange one and a yellow one, ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Are you a hungry Hippo? (400 words)

Hungry hippos is against the whole family from Hasbro stop. It is designed for two or more players and is suitable from ages four and up and supervision is recommended due to the possibility of choking on some of the smaller parts. Inside the sturdy cardboard box, you will receive one plastic base four hippos for levers and four hippo heads. In addition to this, you will also receive 20 marbles and a set of instructions. The game is incredibly easy to setup, and also very easy to play. The aim of the game is to press down the lever to open your hippos mouth and close it, hopefully snagging yourself a marble or two. The player at the end of the game ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Chad Valley Hungry Hippos: White balls wouldn't be enough to satisfy my hunger! (337 words)

Hungry Hippos is a game aimed at the younger generation. On opening the box you get a platform which has four hippos on each side in blue, pink, green and yellow. On the backside of each hippo is a black handle which, when pressed, causes the mouth of the hippo to open up very wide. In a msall plastic bag you will find a load of little white balls. The game is very simple to play in that, someone throws the balls into the middle of the hippos and everyone has to try and swallow as many balls as they can. The winner is the one with the most balls. I recently bought this for Noah from Sainsburys and it cost me £9.99. Noah is only two and a half but ...  Read the complete review

I bought my daughter this last year for christmas as a stocking filler, It was priced at £9.99 from woolworths but I know you can get it cheeper now from amazon or e bay. The box comes in really bright packaging and there is no setting up of the game to do at all. The game itself is a red plastic square with four hippos either side of it, the hippos come in pink, yellow, green and blue, each with a black plastic handle on the back of them which is used to open the hippos mouth. You get a bag of little white balls inside which are to be shared amongst the players then placed in a runway on the left hand side of the hippos and shot into the game when ...  Read the complete review

Ever asked a child to make less noise while they are eating? Well not it this game you won’t these hippos make one heck of a racket as they gobble down their ‘food’! This game is made by MB Games and is aimed at children from three years upwards and is very straightforward. It is a simple game for two to four players. It consists of a red plastic ‘tray’ with different coloured hippos on each of its four sides. There are 24 small, marble sized balls which is I assume why they give the lower age of three in case they try eating them! It comes with stickers to pop on for their eyes and to hippo stickers for the tray. Back to ...  Read the complete review
