I got Jenga for christmas when I was little and absolutely loved it.
SETTING UP THE GAME
The box contains lots of wooden blocks which are all the same size. To set up the game you put 3 of the blocks next to each other with the long sides touching. You then put 3 more blocks on top but have them facing in the opposite direction. You keep doing this until all of the blocks are used up.

PLAYING THE GAME
Each person takes it in turns to remove a block from the tower. In our rules we were not allowed to take any blocks from the top three layers as this is too easy. You then put the bar you have removed on the top of the tower. This way, the tower gets taller and less stable the longer you play. If the tower falls over during your go you lose.
OPINION
This game is fun for the whole family. It causes a mess, especially if you are playing it on a table as you have to crawl along the floor and find all the blocks. My tips for the game are:
1) Only take out the centre blocks in the layer as this leaves the other two blocks to hold up the tower.
2) Make sure you have a steady hand.
3) Slightly push the block you want to remove and see if it is stiff or not before taking it.

Also if you want to cheat, try yelling when your opponent is removing their block and making them jump! I'm surprised how naughty I am!

Summary: A game every house should have!
