Asmodee takes over distribution of Bananagrams in Germany

Asmodee - January 2021

The globally successful word game Bananagrams, which has been bought millions of times, is coming to Asmodee Germany for distribution. Starting in the third quarter of 2021, the Essen-based distributor will take over sales for various versions of the popular game. The distribution partnership with Bananagrams will allow Asmodee to exclusively offer these outstanding games to its retailers and bring Bananagrams to even more retailers and players through its extensive customer network. New to the Asmodee range will be the word games Bananagrams Classic, My First Bananagrams and My First Bananagrams, as well as the reaction game Cobra Paw.

Bananagrams was invented by the Nathanson family, who were looking for a word game that would be quick to play, work for all ages even together, and be handy enough for travel. Today, the clever and fun game in the practical as well as unusual banana bag is one of the most popular word games and is sold in over 30 countries. The goal is to use up all of your letter tiles as quickly as possible. To do this, each player lays out words in front of him, which must be connected to each other. Unlike other word games, each player builds his own word grid and no points are counted. It's all about speed and getting the words right.

My First Bananagrams and Bananagrams Duel continue the idea of the classic game. The first game gives children an easy introduction to word games and slowly introduces them to reading and making words. The second is perfect for two players and brings exciting duels into play with tricky task and theme cards.

Cobra Paw is the latest game from the makers of Bananagrams. In the fast dice game, matching tiles must be snatched as quickly as possible to the throw. A good eye and quick reactions are needed to prevent the opponents from grabbing the matching tiles first.
