Build the Sweetest Sundae at the Table
Here's the scoop: Banana Split Card Game turns an ice-cream shop into a colorful family strategy game. Players collect cherries, whipped cream, chocolate, sprinkles and other Topping cards and use them to complete the delicious desserts shown on their Ice Cream cards. Finish an order, earn points and keep building — because the player with the most points wins.
Every player gets a custom Ice Cream Stand to hide their ingredients from the competition, while Wild cards, Extra Turns and Scoop cards keep each game unpredictable. The included play mat and illustrated instructions make the game easy to learn for children while leaving enough strategy to keep parents, grandparents and older siblings involved.
Banana Split also gives younger players opportunities to practice number recognition, sequencing, simple addition and strategic decision-making while they play. With 132 cards, four player screens, point disks and a custom play mat, everything needed for family game night comes packed into one colorful box.
