 Of the Three, Bananagrams is Best....But...Pairs Has PotentialNov 02, 2010
By Kelly Klepfer
We are Bananagram fans. So the idea of new games - Pairs in Pears and Appleletters built up some serious excitement.
Neither of the new games quite hit the potential of Bananagrams. Without the predecessor, either of these would have been new, fun and creative.
Pairs is a very fast moving game. The goal is to create two or three two word sets. Ideally, you will have matching "suite" letters (there are four different suites) which increases the point value of the win. The more letters you use, the better the score.
We played several "hands" then moved on to Appleletters in the same evening. All of us (five from age 24 to 52) preferred Appleletters to Pairs in Pears but loved Bananagrams the best. One of the fun things that we didn't do but thought of would be to turn all the tiles face down and play a huge memory game or turn it into a rummy type of game where you collect suits of letters. If you have Pairs, be creative and see what you can come up with. If you haven't purchased Pairs in Pears and are wondering which of the three to buy, Bananagrams is the best in our opinion, but Pairs wouldn't be a waste, especially if you can get a good deal.

 Tons of fun for all agesJul 15, 2010
By d007
Played this game over the weekend while visiting my parents. I loved it! We've played banagrams and appleletters too, but this is by far my favorite. Great for young children because you could use only 3 letter words the entire time, and great for adults because you can challenge yourself by forming longer words and matching the patterns. Beware though - this is a fast paced game, not necessarily for the scrabble loving crowd.

Great fun, quick and brain stimulating!Feb 16, 2010
By Nancy L. Ekern
My daughter is always looking for new games. She brought it home and even her dad played which is very unusual. It is quick, and can be played by different numbers of people. I am looking for games to keep my aging brain active and sharp. I can also see playing this with children once they learn some basic spelling. It is also very easy to take along due to the compact size.
