Hungry Hungry Hippos Golden Marble & Scoring Rules
Hungry Hungry Hippos has had more than one golden-marble rule across its editions, so the product number matters.
F8815 golden marble
In the current Hasbro F8815 game, the golden marble is worth two when players count their collections.
Ordinary marbles
Each ordinary marble contributes one to your total.
Does the golden marble automatically win?
No—not in F8815. It gives a two-point scoring advantage, but the winner is still determined by the overall marble total.
When do you score?
Score after the feeding frenzy ends and the marbles have been collected from the center.
Edition warning
Older Hungry Hungry Hippos sets have used different golden-marble rules, including editions where capturing a special marble determined the winner. Use the instructions for your product number.
