Banana Blast

Really fun game my grandkids have fun playing together lots of laughs

I bought this game for my grandson for his 4th birthday after my sister introduced us to the game. He absolutely LOVES it! In fact, for the next 3 days after his birthday, his first words when he woke up each morning were, "Can we play the monkey game?" It was his reward for good behavior, for doing chores, and for playtime fun. The game was fun no matter how many people were playing it (we've had between 2-7 players) and no matter what their ages (ours ranged from 4-50 years old including teenagers.) It was super easy to learn and pretty quick to play (maybe 10-15 minutes per round), so we could play it over and over again. The set up is simple and so is the clean-up. I've wracked my brain trying to find anything negative about it and the only thing I could come up with was that it doesn't have a container to hold all of the bananas and the die. But that's not a big deal--just toss them in the box loose or get a Ziploc baggie to keep them together. We even used this game to teach counting skills, less than and more than, addition and subtraction, and of course, good sportsmanship. ;)

Such a fun and interactive game for toddlers. Both my kids love it and great for some family game night fun My kids are 1 and 3

Bought this for grandchildren. He is 3 and loves to play.

Good nice fun ! The kids had a blast playing game . I had to help pull the bananas at first. After playing 10 games in a row the bananas Seemed easier to pull. Would have gave 5 stars but when the monkey shoots up it doesn’t go very far.

I did not want to buy this game. It did not look educational, looked pointless and I felt like we had 2 somewhat similar games already. My grandson asked for this game for his 7th birthday over and over and I kept telling him it looks too babyish. I also felt like $21 was too much money. But, I’m the grandma so of course so bought it! Let me tell you: if you told me this came cost $50 I’d probably still consider buying it! First of all, all games are what you make of them and the attitude you have while playing. Yes, it is a VERY simplistic game, so guess what? You can incorporate math into anything, so we add and subtract the bananas and multiplication is happening without him even we knowing it! Language, rule following, taking turns, letting others go first, passing the dice and being happy for anyone who wins happens on its own with this game. Our 13-year-old grandson has joined in to see what all the scream-laughing is about and to make it fair since he’s older, we have him sit on one hand, play one handed and we laugh so hard I cannot tell you! The game is made well, sturdy, well packaged, shipped quickly and if you haven’t figured it out: we love this family game!

My 2yr old loves to play this game with me. He can’t grab the monkey when he pops out, but I love hearing him laugh when I try to catch it!

Cute little game, our little loves Monkey Joe and putting in the bananas. The bananas are a little too hard for her to pull out at 2 so mom and dad play that part.

It was a good buy but price could have been better. I thought was a bit excessive.

Thanks for good product

Nice product

Súper divertido, el material es fuerte y resistente.

I bought this game because my grandson saw it in “Miss Rachel”. He was thrilled when he opened it. He is a little too young to “ play by the rules” but we have so much fun just picking the bananas until it “pops”! It is well made, and very little assembly is required.
