I bought Bananagrams (approx £15) for my ILs who raved about it so much I have now bought it for us.
Played it last night and absolutely LOVED it. Prefer it to Scrabble because:
- No pen/pencil/adding up
- No waiting for other players as you play independently (you win by using up your tiles before your opponents use up theirs)
- You can re-arrange any words already down
- Game doesn't last too long
- More fun!
DS (7 yo) also enjoys playing with me (we play the solitaire version together and time ourselves) - so obv educational too.
Well, Christmas is fast approaching!
