Bananagrams Game

Looking for a fun family game for the Christmas season this year?  Then you will want to buy the Bananagrams game. This game is a great word game for kids, or for anyone over the age of seven.  It is fun and fast and even educational.  It is also extremely portable.  With no board to use, no paper and pencil to keep track of your score, you can easily play it on the go, as long as you have a flat surface to work on.  And if time is an issue, you can squeeze in a hand in as little as five minutes.

Looking at the tiles, you might think “this is like Scrabble” – and you would be right, except that you can avoid all of the agony of trying to figure out how to fit your word over the triple letter box.   Bananagrams also alleviates the issue of having to deal with a player who simply cannot find a word and takes so long that all the other players lose interest, or the player who insists on challenging every work and using the dictionary as if his or her life depended on it.

Bananagrams takes all the complicated math out of your word game (it is a word game, after all).  All the letters are worth the same points. The object of the game is to use up all of your letters before your opponent “goes out.”  The more letters you are left with, the worse you do in the game.

You are not limited in any way to what you have already created.  You are making your own crossword which you can completely pull apart and rearrange should you need to.  You can basically start from scratch or just replace a letter occasionally. You can also add your own rules to the game by adding handicaps for better players.  For example, if you have adults playing against children, the adults can be made to draw two tiles for each tile a child draws.  This game is a wonderful way to help improve your child’s vocabulary.

Again, this is really a great word game for kids. This is one game that won’t molder away in your closet.  Purchase the Bananagrams game, you’ll find it is one of the most frequently used games in your home.
