Win, Lose or Banana is a three player game using just three cards: win, lose, and banana.
The cards are dealt and the recipient of the win card immediately flips it over and reveals they have won the game! Hurray!!!
Or have they? Because now they must choose which of the other players to share the win with: if they choose the banana, the winner and banana happily share the victory. If they choose the loser, the loser wins and the ‘winner’ and banana both lose.
That’s the entire game!
What?!? You chose the Loser over the genuine banana, me?!?!

Oddly more-ish, although also quite exhausting.

It's so simple and silly it's utterly ludicrous, and if you're offended by the idea you would pay for something like that, you can easily make your own set. At time of writing the game is unavailable anyway so that's the only option. For a lot of people Win Lose or Banana would be a gigantic miss for understandable reasons, but I've had lots of fun playing this with my kids. There's just something inherently funny about listening to otherwise rational beings indignantly insisting they're a banana.
