Hippos & Crocodiles (2009)

About this game

HIPPOS AND CROCODILES is a board game for 2 players designed by Néstor Romeral Andrés in 2007. It takes 10 minutes to play. The object of the game is to fill up the river with hippos and crocodiles. If a player can’t place a piece on the board, he loses.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
