Review on ๐ŸŒ Bananagrams Word Game Twin Pack by Michael Welborn

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fun for a few or many people with different literacy skills

To play this game you just have to form acceptable words and cross them like a crossword. When playing with people who love words, boards can be great creations of interesting and mysterious words. but no one should feel "less than" when your playmates are nonjudgmental. The games are fast paced and lively - much more enjoyable than the slow process of playing Scrabble where if you're like me you show interest or concentration when more than 3 people are playing. Packed in a durable canvas banana are 144 white tiles, each with a black letter printed on it. Nice clicking sound when thrown on the table, but quiet during gameplay and doesn't distract other players. Everyone plays with their own stones, inventing their own words and "boards" while at the same time participating in the "separation" of stones from the stack when someone puts down all the stones that they had. You can also "throw" a tile by taking 3 instead, which doesn't seem like a penalty since it gives you more room to work. Very fun, often funny and easy to wear.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • So-so
