Bananagrams review

While our review finds the weird banana theme off-putting, at its core Bananagrams is like a Scrabble speedrun for the whole family.

  • Performance: 7.5/10
  • Overall: 8/10

Pros

  • Simplicity itself to play

Cons

  • Banana theme is weird

Think Scrabble as a race, without a board, and you have the foundations to play Bananagrams.

Players race against each other to build a word grid – just like Scrabble – using all the tiles in the game. Whoever uses all their letters first wins.
