Bananagrams is a brilliant game. It gets rid of some of the problems of Scrabble (the interminable length of some games or turns!) by making speed an issue. You can vary how you play the game and it is fun for kids (older for sure) to play as well. We spent many after dinner hours this summer playing the game as a family. Even my wife who HATES HATES HATES games got hooked on this one. If you are at all interested in word games, you will be hooked on Bananagrams after your first round. So simple! Perfect, get it! Wish I had thought of it...
