Bananagrams is a fast and fun word game that requires no pencil, paper or board, and the tiles come in a fabric banana-shaped carrying pouch. One hand can be played in as little as five minutes. Much like Pick Two!, but without the letter values. Using a selection of 144 plastic letter tiles in the English edition, each player works independently to create their own 'crossword' faster than one's opponents. When a player uses up all their letters, all players take a new tile from the pool. The object of the game is to be the first to complete a word grid after the "bunch" of tiles has been depleted. There are variants included in the instructions, such as Banana Smoothie and Banana Cafe for limited set skills or space-deprived places, and the game is suitable for solo play.
Bananagrams has 3 videos from 3 creators: 2 how-to-play guides and 1 other video. They date from 2021 to August 2026.
If you like it, try Shark Attack!, Galaxy Trucker (Second Edition), Floristry or Race to the New Found Land, which share several of its mechanics.
