Overview
Around a play table in a family room, each player presses a hippo tail to gobble marbles released into the center. A golden marble counts for more, and the marbles reload for the next round.
Kids get fast, loud, easy to learn play that needs no batteries and little setup. The marbles are small, so supervised play and careful storage matter.
Who it's for
Playdates and family game nights work well with up to four players. Homes with children under the stated age, or anyone wanting a quiet game, should skip it.

Performance notes
Each player's speed decides the result: pressing the hippo tail faster makes it gobble more marbles. When the round ends, players count their marbles and the golden marble is worth two, then the marbles reload.
