The anagram game that drives you bananas! Requiring no pencil, paper or board, Bananagrams comes in a small portable banana-shaped pouch and is perfect fun for all the family, at home or on the go. Created by three generations of a word game-obsessed family, Bananagrams is a labour of love that has quickly become an international phenomenon! Race to use all your letters in a word grid while others do the same. It¯¿½s fast, frantic fun in a go-anywhere pouch.

How to Play
Mix all 144 tiles and place them face down in the middle of the table. This is called the BUNCH.

For games of two to four players, take 21 tiles each from the BUNCH; five to six players take 15 each; and seven to eight players take 11. Keep all tiles face down.

Any one player calls out SPLIT and the race begins! Everyone simultaneously flips over their own tiles and as quickly as they can makes a connecting word grid.

You can make words horizontally or vertically so that they read left to right or top to bottom. You can rearrange your grid as many times as you like.

Call out PEEL when using your last tile and take a new one from the BUNCH, all other players must take a new tile too.

If you get stuck with a tricky letter call out DUMP and return the tile face down in the BUNCH but you must take three new tiles in exchange. You can DUMP as many times as you like.

Once the BUNCH is empty, the first player to use all their tiles shouts BANANAS and wins the hand... Unless their grid has misspelled or incorrect words.

If any incorrect words are found then that player becomes a ROTTEN BANANA and is OUT OF THAT HAND. They replace their letters face down in the BUNCH and game continues for the remaining players.
