It is also allowed to push some blocks to check which one is the most accessible. It is allowed to stop pulling out the bar out of the construction if the player thinks that the “building” may collapse. What is the move in Jenga? Each player pulls out the block from any place (except for the three upper floors) and puts it on top of the tower. The right of the first move by the established tradition belongs to the player who built the tower. The important moment of constructing the tower is that bars of each next floor should be placed perpendicularly to the bars of the lower one.Īfter the tower is built, participants start the game. First of all, you have to build a small tower with 18 “floors” of the wooden “bricks”. In total, to play the game you need 54 blocks of wood. For example: length = 75 mm, width = 25 mm, and height respectively = 12.5 mm. To play the game, the size of each bar should be 3 times longer than its width, while its height should be equal to 1/2 its width. Thanks to such manipulations, the tower growth in height but with each rearranged bar it becomes increasingly unstable. The rules of the game forbid getting blocks from the top three sites and use both hands for pulling them out. Players take turns pulling out the blocks from the tower’s bottom and stacking them on its top. Jenga rulesĪn unlimited number of players can play Jenga but it is preferable from two to five. In Swahili, the word Jenga means “To build something”. The first company that launched the game in mass production was one of the Hasbro units, namely Parker Brothers. The game was invented in England by the creator of board games – Leslie Scott.
