How to play: First, each player selects one of the 4 hippos. Then, release all the marbles into the center pond. Start pressing your hippo's tail to make it gobble marbles. The faster you press, the more marbles your hippo can eat. At the end of the game, count your marbles. Remember, the golden marble is worth two. When you want to play again, the marbles will reload instantly in the hippo's trough. Attention: Be careful not to let the marbles roll away. Always use the convenient marble storage case to keep them in one place. Maintenance: After each use, clean the marbles and the hippos with a dry cloth. To store the game, push up the back levers of each hippo, and put it in the box. This will keep the game in good condition and make it easy to carry around.
