Turn the gameboard upside down and attach the four levers as shown in Figure 2. The round button on each lever should be facing toward the game base.

Attach Hippo heads

1. Turn the gameboard rightside up and remove the four cardboard tabs from the Hippo necks. Discard tabs.

2. Snap the four Hippo heads onto their matching color necks. Attach one side of a head at a time, so the pin fits through each hole on the Hippo’s head. See Figure 3.

APPLY LABELS

1. Carefully apply a Hippo label to each of the four corners of the game base as shown in Figure 4.

2. Apply eye labels to all four Hippos as shown in Figure 5.

Fixxing Your Hippo!

If a head pops off, simply reattach it as shown in Figure 3. If a body pops off, reattach it as shown below in figures 6a through 6b.

How To Play

Beginner’s Game
1. Select a Hippo and place 5 marbles into the marble release area near your Hippo. (See Figure 4.) All players do the same.

2. One player is chosen to release a marble by pressing the marble release lever. (See Figure 4.) As soon as the marble is released, all players try to make their Hippos gobble it by pressing the Hippo tails until someone succeeds.

Note: The Hippo tail must be pressed down all the way and released all the way for the Hippo to gobble marble properly.

3. The next player (moving in a clockwise direction) releases a marble and the process is repeated.

4. After all the marbles have been gobbled, each player counts up the marbles in his or her marble collecting area. See Figure 4.

The player who captured the most marbles wins the game!

Advanced Game

Here’s another exciting, frantic way to play! All players release their marbles at the same time and attempt to gobble as many as they can at the same time.

After all the marbles have been gobbled, players count up their marbles.

The player who captured the most marbles wins the game!
