Bananagrams is a game involving arranging one's tiles into a grid of connected words faster than one's opponents. The object of the game is to be the first to complete a word grid after the pool of tiles has been exhausted. (Further details of the game are at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bananagrams if you're interested. Posted for the Macro Dreams Challenges group, for the theme: Games and Puzzles.

I don't really follow (or understand) the game, but I watched a little bit of this match taking place in Priory Park, Chichester, and took a few photos. When I decided to post these images I looked on the internet for a simple explanation of the rules and found this: "You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game..!!" Simple............................

............I thought it was supposed to be fun? Please view large, on black to see how happy they are :-))
