English review by Selwyn Ward – Reading time: 3 min.

Happy Hoppers was a surprise hit among the games we brought back from Spiel Essen. It’s essentially a 2-4 player children’s game published by Hobby World that children as young as 4 or 5 can play but it’s captivating enough that adults will happily play it with their children as a family game and many will want to sneak further plays of the game even after the children have gone to bed.

The adventure mode however adds extra elements that make it much better and more puzzly. Stacking rules change and the game becomes much more strategic with a need to plan. This is where the game shines!
……and my five year old would give this a huge thumbs up which is I guess what matters most.

Overall, Happy Hoppers is a game I’ve enjoyed immensely, even as an adult. It’s clear that children will love it too! If you’re a fan of games like Camel Up or The Piggyback Brigade, I highly recommend giving Happy Hoppers a try. Its charm, engaging gameplay, and delightful artwork make it a winner for players of all ages!
