Great casual word game! by Eric Aderhold
I've been playing Scrabble for years, and just got a chance to try Bananagrams for the first time a few weeks ago. I really like it! With everyone trying to complete their own boards simultaneously, it's a very fast-paced, energetic game. Bananagrams works well with just a couple of people or a larger group. Since each round lasts just a couple of minutes, if someone wants to get a snack or go to the bathroom or something, they can just sit out a round and nobody else has to wait.



In some ways, the game is more accessible than Scrabble. A good vocabulary still helps a lot, as does a good familiarity with two-letter words, but knowledge of really esoteric long words isn't as important in Bananagrams as in Scrabble. They're two completely different games, and I still do enjoy Scrabble, but I'm definitely a Bananagrams fan now as well. There's a time and a place for both.
