How big is the banana? I want to gift this, but in a different container.

The banana is made of fabric, so it folds if you take the tiles out and it moves, bends, and scrunches if you leave the tiles in, so the dimensions can vary to some extent to allow you to stuff the whole banana, with the tiles inside, into other sized containers if that's your goal, or if you want to put just the tiles in a separate container without the banana, they should all fit in a quart-size zip lock baggie (and, in fact, the tiles come in a separate plastic zip lock baggie labeled "BIG" ). I took out a ruler and measured the banana with tiles inside: The longest part at the top of the banana (counting just the yellow part where the zipper runs from one end to the other, and not counting the little brown fabric hangtag at one end which you could fold in if needed) is 9.75 inches long. The height from top to bottom is anywhere from 2 to 3.25 inches tall when filled with the plastic tiles, depending on whether you press it flat or whether you instead squeeze the sides in. The width at the widest point in the center is anywhere from 1.5 to 4 inches wide with the tiles inside, depending on how flat you press it down/how much you squeeze the sides in. There is also a directions sheet which should fit in the ziplock baggie if folded, or it can be placed flat or folded in your other container. It is 12 inches tall and 6.5 inches wide when opened up full size, but it arrives folded already so you wouldn't be hurting it to fold it.

Does this come with instructions?

Yes. This comes with an instruction sheet that will have you playing in no time.

Where is it made? Country of origin?

Created by a couple in Rhode Island, made in China

Are there versions with magnets on the back so that the letters will stay in place?

No magnet in back but it stays flat on table coz its pretty big n flat

Fun game - Larger print is a nice option

Love the game. Wanted to introduce it to my 78 year old mom who has trouble with her vision. She could see the letters very well and easily picked up on how to play the game - She LOVED it!

Fun for everyone!

Game came exactly as pictured. Has multiple ways of playing from beginner to advanced - you can even make up your own way to play. The only thing I wish was different is how to keep the cards together after opening. We put a tiny clear rubber band around ours, otherwise they spread all o we the inside of the container. We recommend this for couples, families, teachers, and anyone of reading age. It was a lot of fun!

Not the classic set

The big letters are great is that’s what you need! I didn’t realize this wasn’t the classic set until I received it. Super fun game.

I like BIG letters and I can not lie!

I have low vision and am legally blind so these larger letters are fabulous for my eyes. I take them while traveling and don't use up to much space. The game keeps me thinking!

Lots of fun!

Lots of fun! A clever twist on the original Banagrams design. The letters feel lovely in the hand, and provide numerous options for forming letters. Designed for 2 players, but I've spent hours playing on my own, just seeing how many words I can make. A good workout for the brain.
