I was given this game as a Christmas present and thought it looked like a down market Scrabble but gave it a go. It’s wonderful. Much faster than Scrabble, and at times quite exciting. I will not go through all the rules here, they are simple enough to learn very quickly. Each player makes their own freestyle X-word type matrix which they can alter any time they like, but that takes time – can you alter your matrix quickly enough to stay in the running? There is no mucking about with scoring and the long pauses you get with Scrabble, especially when more than two people are playing. I think that Bananagrams is more fun than Scrabble whilst being equally mind exercising. Children can also join in and enjoy the game once they have at least a basic vocabulary, although they might appreciate a little help if they are playing with adults. An eight year old grandchild who likes reading was able to join in with only minor help from the rest of us. Bananagrams is very reasonably priced, but beware – it may become addictive. I thoroughly recommend this game and have purchased a number of them as presents for other people.

This is a fun, fast-paced game where each player uses their tiles to create an individual Scrabble-type crossword. Good for groups or just 2 players.

Great fun game, quick and easy to setup, lots of variations. You can even play solo to a timer or make your own challenges. If you and your friends/family/partner are readers or fans of Scrabble or crosswords, you’ll all love this.

This game is fun for kids and adults. It helps with memory and quick thinking for adults and a good spelling review for kids. Great to take on a trip.

The quality of the tiles is very good, they feel so nice in your hands. One of our favourite ways to play is to divide the tiles in half and make our own “crossword”, the first to use all his tiles wins. Then we wait for the other person and help them use every tile. Then we read our words out. It’s a fun game no matter how you play it. And the seller was exemplary. 🙂

Great game for 2 players and above. We play it regularly and it is just so much fun. This is for anyone who knows decent english as this is word making but other than that there is not much learning curve. Standard game time: 30 mins

Simple, small, easy to use, sturdy tiles, banana bag is good, no complaints. Good game for all ages to play. Delivery was fast, all good, gave 2 as gifts, 1 to a 10 yr old and one to a 50yr old who wanted one, they were appreciated 🙂

This game is great for all ages. From young children with a limited vocabulary to oldies. I love the convenience of the packaging, it fits into any bag and keeps all the pieces together. Plus it’s so quick to pack away, even for little kids. No excuse as it takes seconds! A well made product, it will probably last forever.
