Advantages: Simple & enjoyable

Disadvantages: Need to tidy up all the blocks when someone knocks the structure down

Jenga is a great simple game suitable for all ages. We had a giant version in our student bar whilst at university & it was always very popular. The game is suitable for two or more players, although I think anymore than five or six is probably too much.

The game start with a tower built up over a number of blocks. Each player then takes it in turns to remove one of these blocks and placing them on top of this tower, without knocking it down in the process. The first player, to knock down the structure loses. You can carry on with this until the last player left in the game hasn't knocked the structure down & therefore is the winner.

You can place the blocks anywhere apart from at the very top of the structure as this is just far too easy. The game realies on good balance & stability skills as well making a good judgement.

Although we now have all the high definition games consoles around, I think games like this still have a place in the market. Jenga is one which the whole family can play together & it'll keep everyone occupied for hours. Also check out the giant version, for the same fun & enjoyment but on a much larger scale.

Summary: Great fun for all ages
