Hungry-Hungry Hippos vs Mouse Trap

Alright ladies and gents.

This is the final showdown to decide which is the superior board game...

Hungry-Hungry Hippos or Mouse Trap?

They have their similiarities... brightly colored objects, moving parts, low-quality manufacturing performed in third-world asian countries.

The have their differences... HH Hippos is a battle to the death between four ravenous river-dwelling man-eaters to achieve the final victory of one more day's survival. They are manipulated by blindly pounding away at a lever to cause the Hippo to take a random bite, hopefully devouring the ever-elusive Plastic White Ball.

In Mouse Trap, your piece slowly advances to freedily steal the cheese and leave his friends and family in starvation. However, you must evade and thwart an overly-elaborate and slow death mechanism upon stealing the cheese if you hope to make it out alive... and fed.

I will not cast a vote... I do not wish to influence the outcome that will, without a doubt, change our nation's history.

Will our nation be saved or will it be plunged even further into the dark abyss? It's all up to you, nation.

Chess

Thread over.

I vote Rock-em Sock-em Robots, personally.

Mousetrap was nifty but had too much complexity for a kid game.

Hungry hungry hippos didn't hold our interest.

But those robots ... whooo boy.

For me, Mouse Trap.

The reason - It reminds me of winter Sunday afternoons at my grandparents house

What,no 'Connect Four'?
Or how about 'Operation'?

all i remember about mouse trap is spending 10-15 minutes setting it up then the contraption getting stuck like halfway though it

it worked like maybe 1 out of 3 times

Phantom, half the fun of mouse trap was setting it up and then waiting to see if it all worked once the trap was set.

Where has all the fun gone today for games.

HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS. I remember they had this monster sized Hungry Hungry Hippos at Chuck E. Cheese. Man, I'd go just to play that game. Now I want me some Hungry Hungry Hippos!

And to think these classics have been replaced with Halo and World of WarCraft.
