I've been playing Scrabble for years, and just got a chance to try Bananagrams for the first time a few weeks ago. I really like it! With everyone trying to complete their own boards simultaneously, it's a very fast-paced, energetic game. Bananagrams works well with just a couple of people or a larger group. Since each round lasts just a couple of minutes, if someone wants to get a snack or go to the bathroom or something, they can just sit out a round and nobody else has to wait.
