Giant Jenga
Jenga is a game of physical and mental skill. During the game, players take turns removing one block at a time from a tower constructed of 54 blocks. Each block removed is then balanced on top of the tower, creating a progressively taller but less stable structure. The name jenga is derived from a Swahili word meaning "to build."

Fun Factor
Jenga is a game of skill. It is fun, engaging, and challenging. The Jenga tower consist of 54 wooden blocks of about 200 x 69 x 44 mm each. The blocks are placed in levels with three blocks per level, placed next to each other along their long side. Each level is placed perpendicular to the previous level. With 18 levels, the initial tower set up is approx 0.8 meters tall. One by one, contestants get a chance to remove a single block from the stack, and place it on the top. The stack becomes increasingly unstable, until the unlucky player removes the block that makes the whole tower fall down. Anticipation and excitement grows after each round. Some good-humoured bantering is allowed, and adds to the anticipation and excitement of the game. Giant Jenga is suitable for teenagers and adults, but be careful that the blocks don't fall on you when the tower starts falling over.
Game Setup and Rules
Jenga is played with 54 wooden blocks. Each block is three times as long as its width, and one fifth as thick as its length. To set up the game, the included loading tray is used to stack the initial tower which has eighteen levels of three blocks placed adjacent to each other along their long side and perpendicular to the previous level (so, for example, if the blocks in the first level lie lengthwise north-south, the second level blocks will lie east-west).
Once the tower is built, the person who built the tower gets the first move. Moving in Jenga consists of taking one and only one block from any level (except the one below the incomplete top level) of the tower, and placing it on the topmost level to complete it. Only one hand should be used at a time when taking blocks from the tower. Blocks may be bumped to find a loose block that will not disturb the rest of the tower. Any block that is moved out of place must be returned to its original location before removing another block. The turn ends when the next person to move touches the tower or after ten seconds, whichever occurs first. The game ends when the tower falls, or if any piece falls from the tower other than the piece being knocked out to move to the top. The winner is the last person to successfully remove and place a block.
