Bananagrams is better than Scrabble
Unlike Scrabble, you play somewhat independently and are able to rearrange words constantly to make your letters fit and to create new words. There is a variety of ways you can play Bananagrams. You can use three or four sets for a large “extended” family game or you can give bonus points at the end of each for the most creative word, longest word, etc. The best is, you don’t need to wait for your turn since everyone plays by himself simultaneously. Another advantage is that the words you build don’t have to fit into any particular pattern. No grid limits your creativeness in word forming.

Good to socialize with other people
Building words from letters can be nine times out of ten funny, sometimes frustrating, but always socializing. Whether you play with friends, your family, or completely strangers, Bananagrams breaks the ice in nearly every situation. It’s simpleness stills fears not to understand the game and invites anyone to join a group who is playing Bananagrams.
