When a player has none of his/her original letters left, that player says "PEEL" and takes a tile from the bunch. At this point ALL OF THE OTHER PLAYERS MUST ALSO TAKE A TILE FROM THE BUNCH and add it to their collection of letters.
4
At any time, and as often as desired during play, any player may return a difficult-to-use letter back to the center of the BUNCH, face down, but MUST TAKE THREE LETTERS IN RETURN. The player must declare this action to the other players by saying "DUMP". This exchange does not affect the other players.
5
Play continues until there are fewer tiles in the BUNCH than there are players. The first player with no remaining letters shouts "BANANAS" and is the winner of that hand. The other players may now inspect the winning hand for misspelled or incorrect words. Proper nouns are not acceptable. Any available dictionary may be used. If all words are acceptable, that player is the WINNER OF THAT HAND. If any word in the "winning" hand is found to be unacceptable, that player becomes the Rotten Banana and is OUT OF THAT HAND, and must return his/her letters, face down to the center bunch and the game now resumes for the remaining players.
SUGGESTIONS FOR PLAYING BANANAGRAMS
BEST OF...
A hand can take as little as 5 minutes, so players, if desired, could play for the best of five or the best of ten.
BANANA SMOOTHIE (For those who want to play a less hectic game)
All tiles are placed face down on the table The letters are divided equally among the players, remaining face down. Players then play the regular BANANAGRAMS game, but there is no "peeling" or "dumping". The first player to use all his/her letters shouts "BANANAS" and is the winner of the hand. If the game ends in a stalemate, the player with the fewest remaining letters is the winner.

Great game for the whole family! March 7, 2010
Berl (PA)
I couldn't believe that I ordered this game on a Tuesday and it was here with the mail on Wednesday. I would have paid more money for it in a store and I didn't have to use any gas or time to find it! The delivery was UNBELIEVABLE!! Couldn't ask for any more!
Excellent ................. March 7, 2010

Wonderful Game!!! February 28, 2010

This is a wonderful family game. It goes fast and everyone is playing at the same time. I love Scrabble but my youngest could never wait for everyone to take a turn and would get bored. This is a perfect fix. It is educational and fun.
Even my non-speller loves this game! February 27, 2010
R. Loper (TX USA)
I bought this hoping to encourage my 9 and 10 year olds to 1) enjoy games and 2) practice spelling. WHO KNEW we'd all fall in love. My mom comes over every afternoon and forces us all to play! It is quite fun and anyone can win. I love it and buy it for friends. Highly recommend this game. So much easier and carefree than keeping score and strategy in Scrabble.
