And when it’s time to put the game away, store them in their convenient storage case. Then push up the back levers of each hippo, and the game fits neatly in its box.

Q: does it work better than old game
submitted by cc - 1 year 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 - 4 months agoA: 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.

Like the classic, but with improvements. The game now includes a yellow marble, which we use to determine the winner, and a "food return," which shoots the marbles back into the play area. My almost three year old loves this game!

Launchers do not launch the ball’s into the pond at all. Hardly any balls given with the game. I remember this being better when I was a child. My 3 year old still likes it… glad I got this hunk of junk on sale.

There is no place for the eaten marbles to go they just go back into the trough that they get pumped out of. Making figuring out who wins very difficult this is nothing like the classic set up.

Rg - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
Ordered this game from target and had it shipped to me. Gave it to my daughter for Christmas and when she opened it, it was filled with a large quantity of little dead bugs. They were within the game under the game. She was mortified and even though I cleaned them all up, she absolutely will not play!

I've played this game for years in my classroom and was excited that my grandchildren were of the age to also engage. SO disappointed that the game is now so poorly made. IF I had opened the box, I would have returned without allowing them to play. Unless you have the game on a PERFECTLY balanced surface the balls will never reach one of your players mouth. And grandma can't always be on hand to tilt the playing surface. Adults- save your money unless you want to play the balancing act for every game.

Lauren - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
I bought this to play with my 2.5 year old and he's been enjoying it. I used to play with my family as a kid in the 90s and that version worked better. They've cheapened the design in frustrating ways. But it'll pass aa far as your young kids are concerned.

The toy I had as a kid was great quality, but new version feels flimsy. My kids enjoy playing with it, despite the hippos getting stuck sometimes. Easy storage is a plus.
