unlimited Players usually less than 10 minutes


Concept:

Stack the blocks as high as possible without toppling the tower.


Gameplay:

Using only 1 hand, remove a block from the lower part of the tower and place it on top.

The inevitable end...


Winning Conditions:

  • Your opponent knocks the tower over.



Our Opinion:

Thumbs Up!This game is very well known. Its simplicity is its greatest asset. It can be played as a solitaire or with a crowd. We found that it is most enjoyable with a large crowd. (If you can't show off your jenga skill to a crowd, then why bother?) Hecklers in the crowd should be expected. And when the stack is really high, nothing quiets a crowded party room like moving a piece that rotates the entire tower before you free it from the stack -- the collective exhale when you successfully place your piece at the top can get strong enough to topple the tower without you.

The zombies all agree that the best part of the game is watching someone else crash the tower. They also agree that the worst part is restacking the tower to play it again (That's the way the cookie...er... tower topples!)

I recommend buying this game if you have lots of friends who can stack blocks as they party. Be certain to shop around for a good price. I have seen prices vary from $10 to $20 depending upon the store.


Where to buy:

Any store that sells popular games: K-mart, Wal-Mart, Target, Toys-R-Us etc.
