So many people have added themselves to our weekly game that we had to go double Dec 10, 2009 By nsv
Bananagrams is a blast. It's similar to Scrabble, but everyone works their own board, so that no one is preparing to use all their tiles to make an amazing word just to have someone else come along and mess it up with "za".

There is still plenty of competition, as everyone races to complete their own board before everyone else. There's the moment of triumph as you're the first one to finish and you yell "Bananas!", and then the crushing moment when someone looks over your board and realizes you misspelled a word.

The standard game is a lot of fun, but with several people we find it easier to play the "Banana Smoothie" version. There's also a version which allows for timed play and a solitaire version, and even a game to play in a restaurant while waiting for service. (It's a very portable banana, and all you need is a flat surface.)

We picked up a double banana because now we've got too many people to play with just one banana. (Wait, that doesn't sound quite right.) The double version has two sets of tiles, so you can take out one set if you've only got a few people. We've marked one of the two sets with nail polish so that when we play with both, we can split (no pun intended) them back up again when we're done.

Bananagrams but twice the fun! Jul 25, 2009 By Science guy "Smart Shopper"
We found out about bananagrams from a friend of ours. ever since that its been a big hit for our family. We bought the jumbo set, which is two bananas. When you combine the tiles it makes the pile bigger which creates a longer and more complex game. Its a little more challenging because you get twice the tiles and have to make a bigger crossword.

flummoxed Oct 12, 2009 By fretnot
The game is fun, but I'm confused by this offer. I ordered it, thinking I would receive a Jumbo game and a regular game, because the price of the "Double Bananagrams" is more than double the price of two regulars; the description didn't indicate the total number of tiles. However, I received two regular "bananas" in the "Double Banangrams" for $5.77 MORE than I would have paid had I ordered two singles.

Portable, Fast, Educational, and Fun! Apr 15, 2009 By Kefi
This is an interesting, nicely short game that is portable and can be played anywhere in a few minutes. It's a refreshing change for anyone who likes the concept of crossword puzzles and word games but doesn't have time or the inclination to sit for hours to play a game. Bananagrams can be played quickly and it's a great way to pass time. It doesn't have a thick manual of complicated rules so you can get right in and play. I recommend it for any age, from children learning to read on up to adults. It's educational and fun at the same time. The plastic tiles come in a sturdy cloth banana peel with a zipper.

Two single sets of Bananagrams, and lots of fun. Mar 25, 2010 By nsv
I bought this so that I could give a Bananagrams game to two different people. The price varies, but at the time it was about the same as buying two individual Bananas.

A couple of things you should know: this item is two individual Bananagrams games, not a single and a double or two doubles. And while it's a great game for kids, the tiles are small (roughly the same size as Scrabble tiles,) so if you've got very young kids who like to put things in their mouths, this could be a choking hazard and it's not the game for them. Yet.

Now about the game itself. We bought a double Banana for our weekly game, because we've had so much fun with it that we've picked up too many people for one Banana. This is my review for Bananagrams Jumbo:
