I am a banana is a board game released in 2020 for 4–8 players and 20 minutes per game. It was designed by Antonin Boccara and Yves Hirschfeld.
You are crazy! With gestures, show your crazy teammates like you who you think you are, but be careful, the doctor is watching you! In I am a banana, the players point to a doctor. He puts on his glasses and then receives the Doctor cards from 1 to 7. The other players are crazy and play as a team against the doctor. Each crazy player receives a banana card numbered from 1 to 7, which corresponds to a picture. This picture shows you what you are getting into. For 90 seconds you must find the "pathology" of one of your teammates before the Doctor unmasks you. He is watching you! He too wants to find a maximum of madnesses by putting down his Doctor cards, because for each madman he will have burned, he will be the only one to score points! —description from the publisher (translated)
