Go ape with the award winning game that is driving everyone bananas! This game has won several awards, including the 2007 Top Toy of the Year Award.

Each player must take 21 letters and make their own little crossword puzzle out of the tiles. Once a player runs out, he or she must yell the word "peel" and at that point everyone must take an additional tile out from the "Bunch". The winner is determined after all of the tiles are gone from the center (bunch) and he or she is the first player to have no letters left.
