Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I remember having this game when I was a kid and it seemed to be much more durable back then. I ordered this for my nearly 4 year old daughter because I thought she'd have a fun time playing with it. The game itself is still fun but I found a few issues: 1) game doesn't sit flat on the table - plastic is thin and warped 2) you have to snap the hippos into the square board. I could see these getting broken easily and they don't exactly fit snugly anyway. The hippo mouths keep getting stuck open or pushed out (won't spring back after gobbling the marbles). 3) the "marbles" are very cheap, lightweight plastic. Back in the 'olden days,' the marbles may have been plastic but they were a more dense, heavy plastic at least! So I'm kind of torn. I have good memories of the game and my daughter does still like this but I am disappointed in the quality and feel that it will end up broken / unusable sooner rather than later.
