Hungry Hungry Hippos
Players control one of several hippos competing to eat as many items as possible from the board. Small plastic marbles (representing snacks) are released into the play area and players repeatedly activate their hippo to snap up nearby pieces. The turn structure is simultaneous and fast-paced; points come from the number of snacks collected. Play emphasizes quick reactions and simple mechanical actions rather than strategy, suitable for short, chaotic rounds.
