Jenga is a game played by many and suitable for ages 6 and up. It is played with 54 blocks. The blocks are set up in a rectangular tower (3 blocks per layer). The blocks within each layer are set in the same orientation and are perpendicular to the blocks in the layer directly below. Once the tower is complete, the first player removes one block using only one hand to do so (may switch hands if desired). Once a block has been removed, the player sets it on top of the tower, perpendicular to the blocks in the layer below. Play rotates clockwise. When a new layer has three blocks, it is complete and the next player begins a new layer.
As blocks are removed and restacked, the tower will become more and more unstable. The game ends when any portion of the tower collapses, caused by the removal of a block or its new placement ontop of the tower. The previous player is declared the winner!
