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.

We're all HOOKED! June 22, 2008

My wife discovered Bananagrams at a neighbor's house and bought sets for her boss, for our house, and for a friend. Now we're all HOOKED! It has completey replaced Scrabble, the previous favorite, not to mention card games. One remarkable observation is that my 10 year old grandaughter, who had no particular interest in Scrabble, loves Bananagrams and can even hold her own with adults players.
Great game on the go or at home June 19, 2008
Diana Cross (Lake Stevens, WA USA)
This is a great game and I have had more fun playing with adults than I have with children. I keep it in my purse, so we can play whenever we have a few spare minutes and somewhere semi flat to play it. I LOVE BANANAGRAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great family game!! June 16, 2008
Grandma Deb (Lords Valley, PA USA)
Bananagrams is fun for all ages--from grandkids to grandparents, and all ages in between. Easy to carry to beach, or play poolside. Enjoy!!
Generational learning "game" June 15, 2008
az grandma
Used by grandparents and 8 year olds...great to take when you travel because it doesn't take up lots of room...you'll need to purchase more than 1 due to all players wanting their own...all who have played have purchased...no I'm not part of the company just the best educational "game" I've played...
great game many ages June 13, 2008
Rachel - mom of 4 (White Plains, NY United States)
I played this game all weekend with my mother and brothers. Each game lasts only 5 minutes so it is never boring. My 5 year old and 7 year old enjoyed making up their friends' names or making a crossword puzzle. Simple great game.
