How to play Jenga
How I did it: I got a set when I was little for Christmas.
It's a game that, interestingly enough, isn't completely void of skill.
It requires both physical and mental skill. Players remove blocks from a constructed tower and place each removed block atop the tower.
You place three blocks horizontally, then, vertically, place three more blocks on top of that. Then you place three horizontal blocks atop the vertical, so on and so fourth, until all 54 blocks from the box are used, and you have a full tower composed of 18 stories, total. A plastic loading tray is typically included with a game to help stacking, because it can be pretty annoying to do it on your own.
The person who built the tower moves first! =D!
The person whose turn it is picks a block from any of the 18 stories to move. Carefully pull the block out of the tower, and place it on the top of the tower.
=D!!
Pull n' prey-literally-and hope the tower doesn't fall!
The next person pulls a block from any of the 18 stories and so on.
If the tower falls, whomever pulled the block causing it to fall LOSES!!
The person that went the turn before the loser, is, in fact, the winner!
Congratulations! You managed to sucker the person that went after you into making the tower fall! Yay!!
Lessons & tips:
- Fun Fact: "Jenga" derrives from the Swahili verb, "Kujenga", which literally means "To Build". "Jenga!" is the imperitive form of the same word.
Resources: My mom for buying me the game, playing it, and Wikipedia for the fun fact.

Here’s picture of my sister shortly after pulling the losing piece over Christmas!
JENGA IS ONE OF THOSE WEIRD GAMES THAT SOMEONE CAME UP WITH WHILE SITTING ON THEIR PORCH AT 2AM SMOKING A CIGARRETTE AND DRINKING A BEER. THAT PERSON MUST HAVE SAID “I THINK I WANT TO MAKE A GAME WHERE PPL CAN PLAY WITH A BUNCH OF PIECES OF WOOD. AND BUILD IT UP. AND THEN KNOCK IT DOWN”. ITS ONE OF THOSE GAMES THAT YOU TRY NOT TO GET ALL CRAZY AND INTO. BUT WHEN YOU START PLAYING YOURE HOPING THAT JERK ACROSS FROM YOU DONT MESS UP AND KNOCK EVERYTHING OVER. I HATE THAT GAME! ITS KINDA WORTH DOING ONCE. BUT AFTER THAT ONE TIME… GIVE UP.
