Hungry, Hungry Hippos: The Human Edition Is Every Bit As Brilliant As It Sounds

Hungry, Hungry Hippos Just Got Way More Exciting

Hungry, Hungry Hippos is a board game that has stood the test of time, as there is little kids love more than the opportunity to hit something really really hard, over and over again.
