Playing Bananagrams The Bananagrams Race to the FinishPlaying Bananagrams is pretty simple. Each person gets a certain amount of letters that can vary depending on how many people are playing and the remaining letters go face down in the "bunch". With your letters, you make words that connect to one other like you would do in Scrabble. However, you are all playing on your own at the same time racing against each other. So, nobody else can play on your words and you can't play on anybody else's words.
The Game Gets a Little Crazy with "Peeling"In the Bananagrams instructions you will see different words you call out like "Peel" when you have used all your letters and that will signal to everyone else that they need to pick up a letter. Sometimes it can get a little crazy when someone keeps using all their letters and yells "Peel" a lot! You can also exchange a letter and say "Dump" for one that isn't working for you but you will have to grab 3 letters from the "bunch" so I try to do that sparingly.
Winning Bananagrams and Getting Kicked Out of The Game!The winner is the one who uses all their letters first! But there's a catch--people can challenge your words and look them up in a dictionary. If the challenged word is not in the dictionary, then you will automatically lose and your tiles will go back in the bunch while everyone else keeps going and you sit out. That has happened to me and I learned my lesson and didn't play any words I wasn't SURE were in the dictionary.
