Jenga: The Tower Game

Jenga involves stacking 54 wooden blocks into a tower.

Jenga is a game created by British designer Leslie Scott.

The name Jenga derives from Swahili word kujenga meaning build.

Players remove one block at a time from the tower below top.

Each removed block is placed on top, making tower unstable.

The tower starts with 18 layers, each layer has three blocks.

Players must use only one hand to touch or move blocks.

Players can touch blocks to check if block is loose enough.

A turn ends when next player touches tower or after 10 seconds.

The game ends when any part of the tower collapses down.

The last player to finish a turn before collapse wins.

By 2019, over 80 million Jenga games had been sold worldwide.

Giant Jenga sets can reach 5 or 8 feet tall.

Jenga combines skill and balance to keep the tower standing.
