Players 2 to 8 Aim To get rid of all your tiles in a crossword of your own making Set Up Players 2 to 4 players each takes 21 tilesStart Any player shouts "Split" which is the signal for the players to begin creating words on the table Play The words created must connect and intersect in a manner similar to a crossword making one matrix When a player uses up all of his or her letters, he or she states, "Peel!" Then all the players must draw or be given another letter. Players can rearrange their letters as often as they like, even letters they have already placed. (If you draw a "Q" and you need a "U" that is in the middle of another word, it can be pulled out as long as the resulting recombinations ultimately form words. Dump If a letter is drawn that seems impossible to place, a player may call out "Dump!" and exchange this letter for three others. No other player should take a tile on a dump End of play Play continues until there are less tiles in the bag than there are number of players. Then the first person to use all of their remaining letters says "Bananas!" This person will be the winner of the "hand" Each word is scrutinized for legality. There is no penalty for challenging a player's word. If an illegal word is found in the played "hand", that player is declared a "rotten banana" and is out of the hand. His tiles are returned to the bunch, and play is resumed as before. |
