This set of tiles would make excellent embellishments for cards,
altered books, collage and other crafts projects. They are made of high quality ivory colored resin. For those of you who love Scrabble tiles but don't like the numbers this is the set for you!
The size of each tile is approx. 3/4" x 3/4" x 3/16". The letters are printed on the tile but they are also engraved into the tile.
This set includes 144 tiles!
The tiles are from of a game called Bananagrams. If you came to this site from a search engine and wanted the game (to play) and not the tiles (for crafting with) then then read below for product details. We are selling the complete game with tiles, banana pouch and complete instructions.
-----------------------------------
From the owners and creators of the game: "The game Bananagrams grew from a passionate love of word games.
Obsessed by all the word games that could be found, we all hankered
after something a bit more fluid than the classics we all love and
wanted a game that the family could play together – ALL ages at the
same time. We sought something portable, that we could take with us on
our various travels and simple enough (with no superfluous pieces or
packaging) that we could play in restaurants while waiting for our
food. We love that one hand can be played in as little as five minutes,
but as it’s so addictive, it’s often hard to put away!"
1. Place all 144 tiles face down on center of table. These tiles are
referred to as the "BUNCH". For games of 2-4 people, each player takes 21
letters from the bunch, keeping them face down. For 5-6 players, 15 letters are taken. For 7-8 (or more) players, 11 letters are taken.
2.
Any one player says "SPLIT" whereupon all players turn their own tiles face
up and proceed to form their OWN collection of connecting and intersecting
words. The words may be horizontal or vertical, reading left to right or top to bottom. Each player may rearrange
his/her own words as often as desired. Players DO NOT take turns, but play
independently of each other and at the same time.
3. 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.
Note: Many variations of the rules are available.
