What is Bananagrams? A singing message from someone wearing a bright yellow banana costume? No, Bananagrams is a delightful game of words that everyone from the young to the young at heart enjoys playing. While some board games come with a heavy load of rules (sometimes so many rules you wish you’d never bought the game!) playing Bananagrams ‘a-peels’ to everyone who’s ever played it. And there are many other cool word games just like it if you’re not a banana person.
Thankfully, the makers of Bananagrams kept the rules on a level where they were easy to understand. Every person that’s playing the game is given letter tiles. The number of tiles distributed will be based on the total number of players. Any excess tiles are then gathered together in the middle of the table in what the game calls the bunch.
Game
What you do with your tiles is the same concept as other word tile games.You’re trying to come up with words that are interconnecting. For example, if you had the word ‘carriage’ and then you had letter tiles t, l, a, s, building on one of the a tiles in carriage, you could form the new word atlas.
This is an all play game. Every single one of your opponents is also building his or her own words in Bananagrams. What adds the element of competition and sense of urgency to the game is that you’re all battling to finish your word building first.
If you get to the point where you have zero tiles in your pile, you get to say ‘peel’ and when you do that, your opponents will have to take another tile. If you get stuck and can’t form a new word with the tiles you have, you can put a tile back but you have to take more in exchange so you’ll want to really try to use all your tiles without resorting to this move.
Just like in other tile word games, with the Bananagrams Word Game, the person who uses up all their tiles first by forming words wins the game. Since each player is basically building their own word puzzle, when the winner goes out, the other players can look over the formed words and if they see one they believe is questionable, they can all the winner on it. If it turns out the word is not found in the dictionary, your win is taken away and you’re finished. This rule ensures that players can’t just randomly make up words in order to be the first one finished.
Besides the fun aspect of the game, if you’ve played other word formation games, then you know that they have a tendency to take up a lot of time-some can drag on for several hours. With Bananagrams, a game can be played in a matter of minutes – under 5, in fact. Each round zips by and you’re having tons of fun before you know it!
