Advantages: Good for 10 minutes

Disadvantages: Not much detail to it.

Am I the only one who found this game tediously boring.I mean the only thing these hippos do is open their mouths at your request and take some marbles with it.

I know it is only worth £10 to buy now,but the board that the hippos rests on is very small,leaving not much room for more then 5 or 6 marbles at a time. Another old game that has stayed in fashion,but not sure why this one has.
4 colourful hippos,who are hungry straining their necks to grab these plain boring marbles which gives the player points.All the player liturally have to do is pull the leaver on it's back to make their heads move out onto the board.

They have not changed much atall over the years,and still they are a popular gift on birthdays and at Christmas.I brought this for my son years ago when he was small and he soon got bored of it.

Summary: This game can getting boring really quickly

We loved this game, even though it's only simple we still found it to be good fun.
