⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast, Addictive, and Surprisingly Competitive — A Perfect Game for Any Group
Fast, Addictive, and Surprisingly Competitive — A Perfect Game for Any Group Bananagrams has become the most-used game in our house, and that’s saying something considering how many board games we’ve accumulated over the years. It takes less than a minute to explain, seconds to set up, and somehow keeps everyone—from casual players to word-game obsessives—totally hooked. Gameplay & Quality The tiles are solid, satisfying to handle, and feel like they’ll last for years. The pouch is sturdy and genuinely portable; you can throw it in a suitcase, a backpack, or even a coat pocket. The speed-based style means there’s almost no downtime. You’re constantly thinking, rearranging, scrapping ideas, and then triumphantly shouting “BANANAS!” like a lunatic. It’s great. Why It Works for All Skill Levels One of the game’s real strengths is that it levels the playing field. Strong word-game players do have an advantage, but speed and improvisation matter just as much—sometimes more. I’ve seen someone go from confidently building a crossword masterpiece to panicking as they redraw half their tiles. It’s honestly more dramatic than it has any right to be. Replayability Endless. Every round is different, and because it’s fast, you always end up playing “just one more.” It also works brilliantly as a travel game, a family game, or something quick for game nights where you don’t want to commit to a two-hour strategy marathon. If Scrabble is a polite dinner party, Bananagrams is the friend who shows up uninvited, steals your snacks, beats you at spelling “quixotic,” and somehow makes you thank them for it. Final Thoughts Highly recommended.

Fun and fast paced word game
I love it, it's clever, fast paced - yet the game isnt over too quickly, funny, and challenging. You're trying to make words connected like a crossword, using all your 21 tiles, but as soon as you do, you pick up another tile that you now need to fit, so you're re arranging it all again, but when you do, you pick up another tile - and so on, or the other players make you pick up tiles, so you can have a small backlog. It goes on like this until all the tiles of the game are used. If you enjoy word games you'll love it, its so much more fun than slow paced scrabble. I don't think it's a great "travel game", because you need a fairly big flat space each to make your words on, but it's compact & lightweight, and therefore easy to take on holidays for playing where you have access to a table. My 11year old could play, but struggled against an adult, two children could play, I think 7yrs+ is generous, I'd say 9+ if playing with other kids is more realistic.

Super fun
This is a cool game and perfect for an evening with family. It's a little hard getting used to the words you have to shout out but once in swing, everyone loved it! Perfect stocking filler for any game lover. It's also great value for money. Sturdy little tiles and a great banana shaped bag to keep them in.

More fun to play than Scrabble
The game requires no board, and as it's compact in size. can be used in various space scenarios therefore easy to use. Because each player plays their own tiles, it makes the game more fun. Suitable for all ages and definitely more fun than Scrabble. Would recommend it.

Schönes Spielzeug für Kinder, die stabilen Steine und bunten Farben machen die Buchstaben interessant, es werden sofort Namen und andere Wörter gelegt. Um damit richtig üben zu können, wäre eine Anpassung der vorhandenen englischen Ausgabe an die Landessprache, für Deutsch also mit anderer Buchstabenverteilung, Umlauten, "ß" und passenden "Verbindungen" wünschenswert. Ich kann auch nicht verstehen, warum es in der Kinderversion nur kleine Buchstaben gibt, bei uns lernen die Kinder ja entweder beides oder erstmal nur die Großbuchstaben. Das "große" Bananagrams ist dann allerdings von der Farbgebung wieder weniger spannend für Kinder.

Conoscevo già il gioco e l'ho comprato per giocare con amici esercitando allo stesso tempo il mio inglese. Per chi preferisse, esiste anche la versione in italiano. Il gioco è veloce e dinamico (sopratutto se si gioca in tanti) e molto avvincente. Il prodotto è originale, e di ottima qualità.
