Context: Pichenotte is a French Canadian tabletop game, with a board, game pieces and rules similar to carrom.  Used more broadly, the term is a general name for tabletop games played with small (usually wooden) pieces that are flicked using the thumb and index (or middle) finger, including such games as carrom, sharing a similarity in that their mechanics lie somewhere between pocket billiards and shuffleboard.  The term is sometimes also mistakenly used as the actual name of other games of this class, such as carrom and crokinole.  Commercially produced boards are available, some under the trade name Pinnochi.  The game is sometimes referred to as "piche" or "pish". Hungry Hungry Hippos is a tabletop game made for 2–4 players, produced by Hasbro, under the brand of its subsidiary, Milton Bradley.

The objective of the game is for each player to collect as many marbles as possible with their 'hippo' (a toy hippo model).  The game is marketed under the "Elefun and Friends" banner, along with "Elefun", "Mouse Trap" and "Gator Golf".  The game was referenced in the 2010 Disney Pixar movie, "Toy Story 3" and the 2001 cult film "Donnie Darko".  There is also a battle level based on the game in the 2016 Micro Machines game.
