Our verdict

A tiny working Hungry Hungry Hippos for collectors and nostalgic gift givers who want the classic in palm size. The marbles are very small, so it is a novelty more than a family game.

Overview

Collectors of mini classics and anyone nostalgic for the original get a working Hungry Hungry Hippos shrunk to a tiny base. Press the levers and four little hippos chomp at the marbles, just like the full-size game.

Real working levers make it more than a static replica, which suits collectors and desk play. It travels easily. The tiny marbles are easy to lose and a choking concern near small kids.

Who it's for

Adults who grew up with the original and collectors of the World's Smallest line will enjoy the working mini. Parents of young children should keep it away from small hands.

Performance notes

Lever-driven hippo mouths work like the original, though at this scale the action is gentle. Marbles roll easily off the base, so play on a flat tray. Storage needs care to keep every marble together.
