hand2mind-65803 Bananagrams Word Game

A fun family game that can also be played solo. It’s like Scrabble on steroids but without a board. Scrabble is calm & slow enough for players to chat while they wait their turn - not Bananagrams. Concentration, focus. & strategy are necessary. Flat surface necessary that is big enough for each player to “build” with letter tiles the same way done on Scrabble board. Imagine that each player has a board that has no double or triple value squares. Play action is somewhat similar to a card game that requires draws at certain times, allows a trade but penalizes by requiring 3 tiles “drawn” every time a letter tile is traded in. There are also rules for all players to follow in response to each player’s trades or draws. The win is accomplished by being 1st player to use all of their tiles & there are no tiles left in the draw pile. It’s not a game for small kids, but an alert, focused 8-yr-old could likely keep with others 8-10, but it’s a better game for age 10+ because it is fast paced.

Great game for all ages. Bought for teen granddaughter who enjoyed playing mine. We then played as a family (3 generations) Great to play by yourself to challenge yourself, or for a group. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot.

After playing this game with our granddaughter we were hooked. I bought this set which is durable. The banana shaped carry case is durable and the tiles are good quality. My husband and I changed the rules a little to give points for length of words since the rules make the winner the first one finished. That just gives the win all the time to the fastest player. We also added special handicaps for young players to just form words without building the set. That makes it a great game for all ages.

Such a fun game! I even play against myself when I don’t get any takers to my request for a challenge.

Great game. Tons of family fun!

It's a good game for children whose spelling skills are developing. What I don't understand is why there were 6 complete sets in the package I bought.

This is a GREAT game to play with family and friends. We LOVE it.

It finally arrived. We learned of this game on a cruise and fell in love with it. Item arrived well packed, it just took too long.

El material es de calidad y duradero, me ha encantado que no importa cuantos seamos siempre lo podemos jugar, y también puedes ponerte creativo y generar tus propias reglas. Sin duda compraría otro o la versión para niños.

Great game to travel with and fun to play with a group or even with one other person. Love this game and would recommend every time!

It is fun to play

No es la versión clásica, es la versión "My first bananagrams" qué es para niños, está muy bonita la edición pero no es lo que te venden. Sólo trae 80 piezas, no 140 como especifica.

This game is great as one game does not last long but you can play several games in one go. Next thing you will know a couple of hours have passed. If you love playing wordle or scrabble you will love this game, but even more. Buy it today!
