Bananagrams

Published 2006

A Scrabble-like game without the board -- much like Pick Two!, but without the letter values. Using a selection of 144 plastic letter tiles in the English edition, each player works independently to create their own 'crossword'. When a player uses up all their letters, all players take a new tile from the pool. When all the tiles are gone, the first player to use up all the tiles in their hand wins. There are also variants included in the rules, and the game is suitable for solo play.
