Bananagrams Duel

Find a word - loving rival and embark on an exciting two - player word game that you can enjoy anywhere! Each player gets 12 letter cubes. Place the banana cards face down within easy reach. These cards serve as score cards and/or theme cards. In the Classic Duel mode, every time a player wins a round, they earn one banana card. The first to collect 10 cards wins. Here, just use the cards for scoring and ignore the categories. To start, a player shouts 'Go!', and then both players quickly form their own crossword grids using any side of the 12 letter cubes. Words should be read horizontally or vertically from left to right or top to bottom, and all words must connect to form one grid. You can rearrange the grids anytime. The first to finish a grid with all 12 cubes yells 'Bananas!' and gets a banana card. After each round, mix the cubes and give 12 to each player again. In the Themed Game, set up and play like the Classic Duel, but before each round, flip a banana card to reveal a theme. To win, the first completed grid must have at least one word related to the theme. The first to collect ten cards wins the game.

How to use: First, each player takes 12 letter cubes. Put the banana cards face - down where both players can reach. In Classic Duel, start the game by a player shouting 'Go!'. Race to form a crossword grid with your 12 cubes. Words should connect horizontally or vertically. When you finish with all 12 cubes, shout 'Bananas!' to win a card. In Themed Game, flip a card for a theme before each round and make sure your grid has a word related to it. The first to 10 cards wins. Note: In Classic Duel, don't worry about the categories on the banana cards. You can rearrange your grid at any time. After each round, remember to mix the cubes and redistribute. Maintenance: Keep the letter cubes and banana cards in a dry place to prevent damage. If they get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft cloth.
