BANANABULLE: The word BANABULLE is a combination of two words Ban and Bag, which in the English language means “bitter”. So when you play this game you are not playing with a sweetheart. You will be playing against BANABULLE. The aim of the game is to get your pair of cards into BANABULLE’s shoe.
BANABULLE is a very simple game. All you have to do is follow a set of instructions. The game moves at a very slow pace so that beginners can learn the game rather quickly. There are nine words in every seven-card deck, and that is how many cards you need to try and get your pair of cards into BANABULLE’s shoe.
To play BANABULLE you will need to use a deck of cards which contains nine regular cards plus three jokers. There are also matching cards to use as King, Queen and Jacks that will complete the deck. Once the nine words are used you will roll the dice and deal them to the five people sitting around a table. The person to your left will then choose one of the words and place his hand over it.
You then all place their hands on top of their cards and shuffle the deck. Then banish the five people to the four corners of the table. Now you all draw the regular cards and place them in front of you face down.
The objective of the game is for you to collect pairs of cards by making words from them. This is done by picking up the cards and trying to make pairs out of them. You have up to seven tries before you lose, but if you make more pairs you move to the next level. If you make no pairs the time limit is automatically added onto your remaining tries.
Once all the words have been made you can now place your hands on the cards and try to match the words. For each word that you match up to, you get to place one point. The highest score at the end wins. The player with the most points at the end is the winner.
In addition to scoring points, players can also try to make words from their cards to form words. For each word formed you only get to place one point. This is called a bananabrum. The player with the most bananabrums at the end of the game wins.
The rules are fairly easy to follow. You can usually pick up the rules and play within a few minutes. The games can be played using a standard deck of cards or even a special electronic deck. Players usually learn how to play the game using basic sets of cards, but eventually move on to more advanced sets of rules. The online version of Bananabubblegum features a very simple and easy set of rules, but if you want to play the game with a little more strategy, then the online version may be a better option.
Each player starts the game with ten playing cards. The players are shown ten words on the board. These words are always in the left hand. At the start of each round, each player will choose which of their ten words to make into a word. They must use all of their playing cards for this action.
There is no time limit for playing the words, but if a player runs out of playing words during the course of a round, then they have to wait until another round begins. If a player lands on ‘q’ after they have picked up a word, then it is a compulsory choice for them to drop a word. This rule makes the game much more exciting.
To make words as quickly as possible, many players will choose words that are in the middle of their playing area. However, if they land on ‘r’ when they pick a word, then the choice of words is restricted to those in the rightmost part of their playing area. This rule is intended to make it harder to find a good word. In the scoring system used in BananabubbleGum, the word is worth two points per word. This makes the word hunt much less difficult.
A unique feature of Bananabrum is that when you play a word, it is played from left to right. This means that words on the left are worth more than words on the right. When you play a word, a small circle appears around it on the playing cards. This circle changes colour when the word is played.
