Product Information
Full details
The Hungry Hungry Hippos Gold Edition is designed for families and young children looking for a high-energy, competitive tabletop experience that emphasizes speed and coordination. While it offers timeless marble-chomping fun for up to four players, parents should be aware that the game requires adult supervision for younger children due to the small size of the plastic marbles included in the set.

FAQs
How many players can play at once?
The game is designed for 2 to 4 players, with each controlling one of the four hippos.
Are batteries required for this version?
No, this is a mechanical game and does not require batteries.
What is the age recommendation?
The game is generally recommended for children aged 4 and up, primarily due to the small parts.
What do I do if I lose the golden marble?
The game can still be played by counting the total number of regular marbles consumed, though the specific golden marble bonus will be unavailable.
Can the game be used on a rug?
It is not recommended. The game performs best on a flat, smooth surface to ensure the marbles roll freely into the feeding zones.
Troubleshooting
A hippo is not picking up marbles
Check to ensure the hippo is securely snapped into the base and that the neck mechanism is free of debris.
Marbles are stuck in the center
Gently shake the game base to redistribute the marbles toward the edges where the hippo mouths are located.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the game, snap the four hippos into their designated spots on the game board base. Ensure each lever is functioning properly before scattering the included marbles across the surface. No batteries are required for this mechanical version, ensuring it is always ready to play. For care, wipe the game base and plastic hippos with a damp cloth if they become dusty. Because the marbles are small, always store them in a secure, sealable bag or the provided compartment after each session to avoid losing them or leaving them in reach of toddlers. Keep the game in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the integrity of the plastic components.
