  Hungry Hungry Hippos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hungry Hungry Hippos is a board game made for young children by Hasbro of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, under the brand of its subsidiary, Milton Bradley.
The object of the game is to use the lever on the back of a player's hippopotamus to consume as many of the twenty white marbles on the playing field as possible.
However, Hungry Hungry Hippos is the only one of these with lasting pop culture status.

Hungry Hungry Hippos is a marble "munching" game which is set up on one square, self contained game board.
You then have to attach the four hippo heads (easy snap on/into holes) to their color corresponding bodies, and put sticker eyes on, and the color label to help identify the correct "receiving" area to avoid confusion after the game is finished.
The box and instructions say that the hippos should be stored flat by pressing the tail lever all the way down locking the lever into place causing the neck to be extended all the way down, and the head is supposed to go up.

For the uninitiated, the object of the game is for your hippo to gobble up more marbles than the other players' hippos.
Marbles are turned loose in the play-field in the center and roll around -- when one comes close to your hippo you depress his level, extending his neck and raising his head so he can drop down and "eat" the unsuspecting marble.
Measuring roughly 7½ inches at its widest point (that's hippo-rear to hippo-rear), 6 inches wide where there are no hippos, and 2 inches tall, it is compact but still large enough that it is fun to play.

The nice thing about the hungry hippo game is that you don't even have to say that anyone "wins" or not -- I tell my daughter that her hippos must have been REALLY hungry if they eat more marbles than my hippos.
This game works best if all 4 hippos are in action gobbling marbles (or else the marbles get stuck), but two people can easily operate two hippos, even young children.
The game itself is easy to play, makes a good amount of noise (as the hippo heads knock the plastic) and entertains for long periods of time.

Hippo eyes are essentially stickers which come with the game and are affixed to the hippo eye areas shortly after purchase.

This classic game is just as fun and frantic as it was when I was young, but the "new and improved" version hasn't renewed or improved my happiness.
At the time, I thought it was because all the kids were overly excited about grabbing as many marbles as they could, and with it being Christmas, of course chocolate came into play.

The Hungry Hungry Hippos (a.k.a The Hungries) originally formed in 2001 and began writing and performing their own music before overseas travel shelved the project until late 2003.
Upon reforming the band quickly found its chemistry again and recorded a 9 track demo from which "Brother's Cup" is taken.
Like their namesakes, The Hungries devour all musical styles put in front of them and influences from as far afield as 70's funk, blues, punk/rock can be heard in their music.

 Hungry Hungry Hippos : Retro
Four hippos of orange, yellow, green and pink were the adorable stars of the game, but they were anything but sweet once the feeding frenzy began.
Each of the four hippo masters had control of a row of marbles, and with a push of a marble-release lever, the little pellets rolled out into the communal trough.
A second lever (the hippo’s tail) sent hippo necks jutting out toward the center of the field, trying to chomp down on a tasty marble or two.

 What Works: Hungry, Hungry Hippos
When levers are pushed, the marbles move from a loading area to the board.
Players use the 'tail' levers on the hippos to move the 'mouth' to grab as many marbles as possible; the one with most marbles at game's end wins.
When we go for the 'no real rules' method, we don't really track wins/losses; just play as Fast as possible and move on to the next game, on and on, until we get tired of it, and our hands are weary of working the levers.
