Written by renowned puzzle master and Director of Clubs for the National Scrabble Association (NSA) Joe Edley and the creator of the Bananagrams word game Abe Nathanson, Bananagrams! The Official Book is a very clever puzzle book for the very clever Bananagrams word game. The puzzles are interesting and varied as they are designated by level from easy, one banana puzzles up to more difficult, four banana puzzles. Those of us familiar with Scrabble puzzle books will find helpful 'the two's', 'the three's', 'vowel dumps', 'no vowels' and the ever popular 'Q without U' word lists. Also included, is an answer key for all the puzzles included. I liked this book a lot and I appreciate Joe Edley trying to draw Scrabble players to this game as I think Bananagrams is a WONDERFUL gateway into the world of word games. My only gripe and the reason I gave it four stars is because, as an official book, I was hoping it might include some game variants beyond those printed in the directions of the game in addition to the word puzzles. Bananagrams seems wide open for creating variants and having an official source to go off of makes the game ultimately more enjoyable for those who like the game and prefer not to have to explain weird, homebrew variant ideas to the uninitiated. But all in all, I liked it and I look forward to More Bananagrams!.
