Bananagrams

Bananagrams is a fun word game that owes its name to the fun case in which the game materials are contained: a series of laminated letter tiles with which to compose a myriad of words. The game is simple, fast, and lends itself damn well to being played in large game groups. Each player gets at the beginning of the game a certain number of tiles with which he will have to try to form a personal grid made up of intersections of letters that form words of complete meaning. After a player has managed to use all of their starting tiles he yells “Letter!”, At which point everyone has to draw a new letter from the pile in the center of the table and continue composing their words. A player can also loudly call Swap! and put one of his letters back in the pile before drawing three new ones at random. After having managed to run out of tiles in the center, the player who first managed to place all their tiles will be proclaimed the winner.
