Really fun and very diverse by Marcela
I'm a huge fan of word games, and I love Scrabble (but the complex scoring system can be a pain when you're not playing it on a computer). I found Bananagrams to be great because it is simply a bunch of letter tiles, no point system, just based on how fast a player can come up with words and get rid of their tiles the fastest. Another great thing is that you can play many variations of the game, such as:



-As in the instructions, where each player takes a set number of tiles and tries to make their own crossword puzzle as fast as possible before the other players have completed theirs.



-A Speed Scrabble version where each player takes a set number of tiles and everyone takes turns adding words to a single crossword. The player who gets rid of their tiles first wins.



-A single-player game in which the player takes 1 tile out at a time from the banana and tries to make the biggest crossword puzzle using all the tiles.



And i'm a sucker for the cute Banana pouch the tiles come in! This game is really great for on-the-go. I'm definitely taking it with me on my next trip to the airport!
