Rapid Rules

General Play

1. Deal each player 11 tiles face down leaving the other tiles in the banana
2. Yell "SPLIT!" to start the game and have everyone turn their tiles over
3. Make words with your tiles going down or across like a crossword puzzle
4. All words must intersect with at least one other word
5. If a player wants to trade a tile, they can yell "DUMP!", put the tile they don't want back in the banana, and pick three new ones at random
6. When a player uses all of their tiles and there are more tiles than players remaining, the player will yell "PEEL" which forces all players to take a new tile
7. When a player uses all of their tiles and there are fewer tiles remaining than players, the player will yell "BANANAS!"

Winning and Losing

• Upon a player yelling "BANANAS!" the other players can inspect their board to ensure all words are valid. If so, the player that yelled "BANANAS!" wins
• If the player that yelled "BANANAS!" has an invalid word (misspelled, not a word, or otherwise illegal) then that player is out and other players can continue working on their boards
