BananaGrams:
Bananagrams, the hottest selling game of 2008, is a fast-paced, addictive
word game. Bananagram's is simple to learn and everyone plays as the same
time so there is no waiting for turns. Each person in the family or group
plays at their own level, using their tiles to form individual crosswords.
The resulting race to grab more tiles and rearrange already-laid letters
into new words is fun and addictive. A bright yellow banana bag holds the
tiles and rules, making it perfect for building vocabulary and practicing
spelling skills at a restaurant, camping or at the kitchen table during
impromptu marathon sessions. It's a great travel game and has won numerous
awards in the short time it has been available. 144 tiles. 2 to 8 players.

Truth Be Told:
Think of this as part Balderdash/ (bluffing) with the personal feel & comfort of "Apples to Apples". In
each round, one of the players is the Host, and reads a question card such
as, “Truth Be Told, my favorite snack is _______.” The Host secretly
writes a truthful answer, like...pork rinds. All other players write bluff
answers that might seem like something the Host wrote – pretzels, prunes,
sardines. The Host collects and reads all answers aloud, and players try to
guess the Host’s True Answer. Players score if they voted for the True
Answer - and also if their bluff answer was chosen by others. For 3-8 players ages 12+ and includes 564 Truth Be Told
Questions; 8 markers; 8 Fill in the Blank cards; 8 Paddles. Our take: For the past 10 years, the question we get the most is: "What new game is this year's "Apples to Apples?" Before that, it was what's the next Trivial Pursuit? Truth Be Told stands apart from the countless new titles we preview yearly. It works on several fronts, being very quick to get started, creative, social & frequently laugh out loud funny. But most important, our group simply loved playing and couldn't wait to get together again. |
