#19: Jenga!

“The number of moves possible in any game of Jenga is dependent on the number of levels the game begins with. If the number of levels is expressed as “X”, the number of moves possible can be expressed as 6 × (X−2) + 2. Thus, for a standard game involving 54 blocks (18 levels), there are 98 total moves possible.”

We love Jenga!

This was a birthday present from me that we just opened. I hadn’t played for years and it was Isak’s first time, but we played over and over again, alternating wins. Again, a completely different flavor of game to add to the cupboard. I think M. will really like this one too, when he gets a chance to play with us.

Next up: Upwords! I grabbed this one last night, but we haven’t tried it yet.

I love Jenga!

I’ve been teaching a Year 4 class in Qatar and they had no toys to play with so I bought some cheap in the UK and took them over with me and one of them was Jenga. The kids had absolutely no idea how to play it. It kind of made me sad that the kids didn’t know how to play the basic games I played as a kid. It looks like you had great fun :-)
