I invented a two player version of bananagrams specifically for dating.
The object is to have the most pieces in your crossword.
You each start with 21 pieces. You take one new piece whenever you finish all your pieces. If you are unable to place any pieces, you can put three in, and take out one.
Whoever has more pieces wins. (Really, whoever gets past half first.)
Now, I caution, that this version is really annoying, but it is fun if only you know that it is annoying.
