When a player has none of his/her original letters left, that player says "PEEL" and takes a tile from the bunch. At this point ALL OF THE OTHER PLAYERS MUST ALSO TAKE A TILE FROM THE BUNCH and add it to their collection of letters.
4
At any time, and as often as desired during play, any player may return a difficult-to-use letter back to the center of the BUNCH, face down, but MUST TAKE THREE LETTERS IN RETURN. The player must declare this action to the other players by saying "DUMP". This exchange does not affect the other players.
5
Play continues until there are fewer tiles in the BUNCH than there are players. The first player with no remaining letters shouts "BANANAS" and is the winner of that hand. The other players may now inspect the winning hand for misspelled or incorrect words. Proper nouns are not acceptable. Any available dictionary may be used. If all words are acceptable, that player is the WINNER OF THAT HAND. If any word in the "winning" hand is found to be unacceptable, that player becomes the "Rotten Banana" and is OUT OF THAT HAND, and must return his/her letters, face down to the center bunch and the game now resumes for the remaining players.
SUGGESTIONS FOR PLAYING BANANAGRAMS
"BEST OF?"
A hand can take as little as 5 minutes, so players, if desired, could play for the "best of five" or "the best of ten".
BANANA SMOOTHIE (For those who want to play a less hectic game)
All tiles are placed face down on the table The letters are divided equally among the players, remaining face down. Players then play the regular BANANAGRAMS game, but there is no "peeling" or "dumping". The first player to use all his/her letters shouts "BANANAS" and is the winner of the hand. If the game ends in a stalemate, the player with the fewest remaining letters is the winner.

The BEST word game April 28, 2008

For Seniors or Kids this is a GREAT word game.
Portable, challenging and fun. The tiles have migrated to a permanent place on our kitchen table and a game is always going. Easy to learn.
(Company that markets this is terrific. One set (I've purchased 5 for gifts)was shy a few letters and they immediately sent new tiles. Can't get better than that)
Buy this and enjoy!

Bananagrams is a great game for adults and those just learning to spell. You can tweak the rules to make it easier for younger players just learning to spell or can follow the rules for older players and everyone can find a good challenge. We all enjoy it!

We just broke this game out two weeks ago and have introduced all our friends to it. We like that we can all play at the same time, that the person who goes out first is seldom the winner and that there really is a level playing field. Great Game!
Amazing game! December 4, 2008

I teach children with language-based learning disabilities, and my reading class loves bananagrams! Its a great game to play whether you have 5 or 50 minutes. I have altered the rules a little with my class, and allowed them to work in pairs rather than alone. Its amazing how their confidence in spelling increases when they have a fun manipulative game to play!

Santa brought this for my 11 and 9 year-olds this year, and while they love it, so do the grown-ups! We are all huge Scrabble fans, but Bananagrams appeals (pun intended!) to us for several reasons: it is faster than Scrabble--you can play a round in about 5 minutes, no one can steal your spot, you are not constrained by only 7 letters, you don't lose a turn for returning a tough letter--though you do have to take 3 more, and you can mess with your opponents by using all your letters and making them draw more when they're not ready. Super, super fun, reasonably priced, highly portable. We love it!
