Given that “green” is a trend; the absence of throwaway packaging is definitely an a-peel-ing part of Bananagrams. (Couldn’t resist a good pun!) While this game feels familiar to other crossword games like Pick Two, we all agreed that the adorable zippered banana sack and the hanging merchandiser helped make this item a standout.
The game itself? I think it’s great! (FYI – I really like quick word games.) The …
