Bananagrams is a blast. It's similar to Scrabble, but everyone works their own board, so that no one is preparing to use all their tiles to make an amazing word just to have someone else come along and mess it up with "za".
There is still plenty of competition, as everyone races to complete their own board before everyone else. There's the moment of triumph as you're the first one to finish and you yell "Bananas!", and then the crushing moment when someone looks over your board and realizes you misspelled a word.
The standard game is a lot of fun, but with several people we find it easier to play the "Banana Smoothie" version. There's also a version which allows for timed play and a solitaire version, and even a game to play in a restaurant while waiting for service. (It's a very portable banana, and all you need is a flat surface.)
We picked up a double banana because now we've got too many people to play with just one banana. (Wait, that doesn't sound quite right.) The double version has two sets of tiles, so you can take out one set if you've only got a few people. We've marked one of the two sets with nail polish so that when we play with both, we can split (no pun intended) them back up again when we're done.

We found out about bananagrams from a friend of ours. ever since that its been a big hit for our family. We bought the jumbo set, which is two bananas. When you combine the tiles it makes the pile bigger which creates a longer and more complex game. Its a little more challenging because you get twice the tiles and have to make a bigger crossword.

The game is fun, but I'm confused by this offer. I ordered it, thinking I would receive a Jumbo game and a regular game, because the price of the "Double Bananagrams" is more than double the price of two regulars; the description didn't indicate the total number of tiles. However, I received two regular "bananas" in the "Double Banangrams" for $5.77 MORE than I would have paid had I ordered two singles.

Bananagrams, a super past-time!
This game is perfect for us when we go to a musical show early enough to get a good seat, but have to wait a couple of hours for the show to begin. Our grandkids also love it. Read more

It's OK
A Scrabble alternative with looser rules and a more active competitive nature. Should be a nice family game time choice.

Great Game
I love bananagrams. This set is great. It came very quickly and is just what was advertised. It has twice as many tiles, which means the games last more than twice as long. Read more
