Don't Step On The Croc, Doc! (1991) by Peter Pan - Vintage Board Game Review - Crocodiles! 

Great review! Never heard of this one before! Incredible, after so many years of searching vintage games I've never come across it!

Love simple games like this with motorized mechanics. Nice review!

I still really like this game because of the theme. Adventure board games this is what I really like.

New subscriber and I'm loving the content keep it up 10/10

I got this one a few months back when I came across a decent deal. Couldn't resist the adventure theme similar to Forbidden Bridge. The contents list on side of box says 8 gold bars which mine has, but like you said I've seen copies on ebay with as many as 12. After playing it several times I think I actually like it with only 8 bars, it makes players fight to get them since they might run out in 3 to 4 player games. I also thought the same about the hippo and croc colors being switched, very odd.

Ultimately it boils down to being a slow “press your luck” mechanic.

the crocs look like the one from peter pan or rescuers must have inspired the cover art

I used to have this game, it was so frustrating!

Another informative board‐game science experiment! 🧪🔬⚛ Not what I expected from a game whose name sounds like the title of an old Looney Tunes cartoon…!
