Jenga

Jenga is the ultimate tower-building challenge that will put your skill and strategy to the test! This beloved classic features 54 precision-crafted wooden blocks, each designed with care for perfect balance and durability.

Each block measures three times its width in length, with a slightly reduced height to ensure stability as you stack. As you build, you’ll create a breathtaking tower consisting of 18 stories, with three blocks arranged side by side. Each level is carefully placed at a right angle to the one below, forming a stunning spiral of architectural brilliance.

To enhance your building experience, a handy plastic loading tray is included. Once your tower reaches impressive heights, the player who last added a block takes the first turn. Players then take turns carefully removing a block from any story, except for the topmost completed one, and balancing it on top of the tower.

Challenge yourself by using only one hand to extract a block, while keeping the other hand steady on the tower for support. Feel free to gently tap nearby blocks to find the ones that might be loose, making for some thrilling strategic decisions! If you encounter a block that feels risky, you can always opt to leave it in place.

A turn comes to a close when the next player touches the tower, but they are given a brief 10-second pause to assess its stability if they suspect a collapse is imminent. The excitement builds until the tower eventually tumbles! In this nail-biting moment, if any piece other than the one being moved falls, the player responsible for the disaster is declared the loser, while the player who made the last successful move celebrates victorious!

With its fascinating history that traces back to a similar game published by Fagus in 1984, Jenga draws inspiration from the traditional Takoradi blocks. The name ‘Jenga’ means ‘to build’ in Swahili, perfectly encapsulating the essence of this fun-filled game.

Perfect for family gatherings, game nights, or friendly competitions, Jenga guarantees hours of exciting entertainment. Get ready to stack, strategize, and revel in every heart-pounding moment!
