Description

ANANAS* is here to only ~slightly~ embarrass you. The objective of the game is to get as many of your pizza-toppings, a.k.a. tiles, onto the board as possible!

To do so, players use a coin to determine where they place their tile. Compete in different levels of mild, medium, spicy, or burnt challenges. Race against the clock, compete as a group, or go head-to-head with a wild mixture of challenges sure to spark some competitive fun into game nights (or afternoons) spent with friends old and new.

The more challenges you win, the more points you earn in the end, determining the ultimate winner & hopeful “future-five-star-reviewer” of our game.

Whatever you do... don’t get burnt!

key features

strategic yet simple

Devise a ruthless plan or keep it simple? ANANAS is super quick to learn, where your main goal is to win challenges from each spice level.

Add a layer of depth with bonus points that reward strategy & stealing.

Most importantly... don't get burnt!

challenges that test wit, athleticism, & humour

We call them challenges for a reason. Unique to other games, ANANAS keeps it casual with challenges that are silly, fun, and chill.

Our ultimate motto was to find the perfect balance of ~slight~ embarrassment without ruining your personal / professional / family life.

unique pie shapes. every time!

End the game by being the first to get rid of your tiles. Want a shorter round? Choose game duration right from the beginning by how many tiles are picked up. Plus:

  • A scoring system of placed tiles determines the ultimate winner!
  • (along with some sneaky bonus points)

Our favourite part about the game? The pizza pie (ie the spread of tiles) will always be different game to game!

why ANANAS mini?

Re-bundling the base game into a mini package allows us to split up the original ANANAS into expansion packs custom fit to your budget and interest. We scaled the format to be most efficient with the manufacturing standards from our friends here at The Game Crafter. Our favourite part? The smaller box is way easier to travel with for game nights at your friend's place or those weekend getaways!
