Blue Banana

About this board game

Blue Banana is a fast-paced card game for 2–5 players, released in 2019, in which changing colors and symbols put visual recognition and quick thinking to the test.

At the center of each round are two motif cards. These cards show their respective symbols in the wrong colors, creating confusion as players try to work out which characteristics they should be looking for. A blue whale symbol and the color yellow for a banana illustrate the kind of mix-up that makes the game so challenging.

All players start at the same time and compete to take as many cards from the display as they can with the desired characteristics. The rules may sound simple, but success requires careful combination and the ability to think around the corner.

• Simultaneous play: Everyone begins at the same time, creating a lively race for cards.
• Color and symbol confusion: Motifs appear in incorrect colors, challenging familiar visual associations.
• Recognition and combination: Players must identify the sought motif and determine which color truly belongs to it.

Can your brain avoid being fooled by the wrong colors? Blue Banana turns ordinary-looking symbols and colors into a brisk test of perception, focus, and flexible thinking. Players must not only recognize the motif they need, but also identify its correct color while scanning the display.

With its simultaneous starts and deliberately misleading central cards, Blue Banana offers a compact challenge built around confusion, combinations, and quick decisions.
