How it plays

Each player chooses a hippo and launches marbles into the center pond. Then the chomping starts: the faster you press your hippo's tail, the faster its neck shoots out to swallow whatever rolls past. When the pond is empty, everyone counts their catch, remembering that the golden marble is worth two. The marbles drop straight back into each trough, ready to launch again.

We updated this edition for parents as much as preschoolers. Marbles live in their own storage case, and the hippos' levers push up so the game slides flat into its box. It is a cheerful choice for two to four kids on a rainy afternoon.
