			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://thetoydetectives.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/bananagrams.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-906" title="Bananagrams" src="http://thetoydetectives.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/bananagrams-150x150.jpg" alt="Bananagrams" width="150" height="150" /></a><strong>Word games have always been a fun way to exercise the language skills of all ages. However, they are usually considered to be quite a gentle past-time; but not Bananagrams. Bananagrams makes word play fast and furious.</strong></p>
<p>In a banana shaped, banana coloured bag there are 144 letter tiles waiting for you to tip out onto a suitable playing surface. To get the game ready, you or a group of up to eight players turn all the letter tiles face down and each player takes a &#8220;bunch&#8221; of tiles (amount dependent on the number of players). The remaining letters stay in the middle.</p>
<p><span id="more-904"></span><script src="http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/js/2.0/video/evp/module.js?loc=int&amp;vid=/video/living/2008/12/15/vanmarsh.uk.bananagrams.cnn" type="text/javascript"></script><noscript>Embedded video from &amp;lt;a href=&#8221;http://www.cnn.com/video&#8221; mce_href=&#8221;http://www.cnn.com/video&#8221;&amp;gt;CNN Video&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;</noscript></p>
<p>Shout &#8220;split&#8221; and the game begins. Each player makes their own grid of intersecting words. When a player makes a grid they shout &#8220;peel&#8221;, a command upon which everyone must take another letter tile, whether or not they have completed their own grid.</p>
<p>If a player cannot fit a letter into a grid they shout &#8220;dump&#8221; and put a letter tile back into t the middle and then they must take three out.</p>
<p>Play continues until there are fewer letter tiles left than there are players. The winner is the person with a complete grid but before crowning the champion, make sure there are no made up word in their grid that could disqualify the &#8220;rotten banana&#8221;.</p>
<p>There are other game suggestions in the instructions and I&#8217;m sure a few variations may surface among regular players. Whilst Bananagrams is an excellent educational exercising of one&#8217;s vocabulary, its remains most prodigious in terms of the fun factor.</p>
<p>Bananagrams has received critical acclaim, including in Britain the Good Toy Guide&#8217;s Gold Award and in the US from the Toy Industry Association, where it received a Game of the Year award. Also, The Toy Detectives declare it Most Wanted.</p>
