Bananabuble is played using seven cards. The player must use alternating picking for the first four hands and once the fifth turn comes the player has to do the same picking for the remaining five hands. The object is to get to the twenty-one card on the top of the deck, from which the remaining cards can be chosen. If any of the cards are clubs or diamonds, the player will have to discard either one or both from their hand and replace them with clubs or diamonds. This is also the time when the dealer may reveal the cards.
Bananas are occasionally referred to as bananas due to their spongy feel. They are considered lucky in Bananabuble. The basic strategy is to have more pairs than the number of cards in the deck. For each hand, the player must have at least three of the same type of cards (aces, hearts, diamonds, or spades). Once all the cards have been revealed, the last known card is eliminated and the player gets a new hand to deal with.
Bananabuble consists of thirteen letters, the last eight of which spell BAN!. The actual word BAN is actually an anagram of the words BANAN, anagrams, and UNBAN. This makes BAN anagrams of UNBAN, the game that it is part of. Bananas are also related to bananas in the sense that they are fruits. That, plus the fact that bananas are one of the few cards that have no say in terms of value in the game makes it a commonly used word in the language of bananabaneers.
The way the play the game varies according to the version that is being played. In the Caribbean version, for example, the goal is for the player to draw as many cards as possible without letting them get stuck together. A single card can be turned over at random. Another variation requires the player to place their cards face down on a flat surface and then to attempt to make a wish on those cards. The wishes can become reality if the player draws a card and “moves” it out of the way of another card.
The rules of the game are relatively simple. The goal is for the player to produce pairs out of the cards that are drawn in a particular way. Bananas are worth five points per banana, which can net the player fifty points if played over a length of time. There are, however, a few other considerations to be made in order to have the best chance of drawing up the best possible set of cards.
In a standard game, each player receives four cards face down. Then, seven random cards are dealt to each player. Once the four cards are dealt, each player receives three new cards face down and three new cards are drawn and placed into the middle of the table. This is followed by a round of betting where each player must provide the other with a card.
It is important to remember that Bananabubblegum Strain is a game that will continue until someone draws a card and has to reveal it. The last card that is drawn will result in the person with the most Bananas becoming the winner. The scoring can be quite a bit higher if all of the possible combinations are accounted for.
