Who makes this site

We are the people behind the banana pouch. Abe Nathanson built the first game with his family in 2006, and the company still runs on the same idea: word games fast enough that nobody checks their phone.

This site is our reference shelf. The rules as we wrote them, the word lists that settle table arguments, the arithmetic of the pouch, and an honest page on every game currently on the shelf. When a box is out of print or out of stock, we say so instead of hiding the page.

The longer story, from a Providence summer house to a word in the dictionary, sits on its own page: where the game came from.
