Description

The game with TWISTS but no TURNS!

Race to plant all cards from your Seed Pile, and see who can play the most cards into the Canopy. It's a game of speed, precision, and competition - a game with twists but no turns! Do you have what it takes to be not only the fastest player, but the best?

—description from the publisher

Banapples plays like competitive solitaire with player interaction. The red and yellow "tree" piles alternate colors while descending, and the scoring piles are one color only and ascending. You are allowed to play to other player's scoring piles, so you could potentially block them from scoring the card they wanted to score, but everything goes so fast that no one feels like it was mean. Everyone plays at their own speed, real-time, with no turns, until someone's "seed" pile runs out. Then it's time to score the cards at face value.

One round lasts about 15 minutes. A full game to 500 points lasts about an hour.
