Bananagrams - fast, portable fun for anyone who can spell

Do you like Scrabble but get afraid up aggravating to use those appropriate point squares, are abject if anyone "steals your spot", or abject down by Debbie Dictionary ("just let me attending up this one word") or Slow Joe (who takes 20 account for anniversary turn)? Able-bodied you would adulation Bananagrams, because it solves those problems. There are no appropriate squares (or squares at all), no credibility on the belletrist (all are account the same) and no time to dawdle. You are instead adored for acceleration and adaptability in authoritative your own crossword. You can absolutely cull afar your crossword and alpha from blemish if you charge to or just bandy out a letter actuality and there, but don't get bent with a agglomeration of additional belletrist if an adversary goes out!
It is agitative and arduous to play this bold with adults, but it can be fun to cover the kids. You can calmly acclimate the rules to clothing yourself. We "handicap" the adults by cartoon two tiles for every one the kids draw. You can play anchoress or accept several players.
A agnate bold that I aswell adulation is Learning Resources' "Take Four". If you are the blazon who would adopt to accept a filigree to accumulate those tiles straight, or brand to accept a few "jokers" befuddled in, you ability adopt this. But Banagrams is far added carriageable and abundant cheaper. I like both of these amateur so abundant (as able-bodied as the spelling agenda amateur Quiddler, My Word, and Tri-Virsity) that the old Scrabble lath is acquisition dust.
