| blackelve's Full Review: Jenga |
I do not like Jenga.
For several reasons this game irrates me.
First: It is loud. When those blocks hit the table and an earthshattering sound, my teeth just clinch tight.
Second: Try getting those blasted blocks back in the box just righ without a fight and a hassle. you would think they could have designed a box to put the item back without a struggle.
Third: The game is boring.
Sorry, I just cannot get into a game where I take a block out hoping not make it fall over and make noise.
My son received the game for Christmas last year. He played with it a couple times, and then tossed it aside and forgot about it.
My husband and I played it one evening and we both didn't care much for the task of putting it up, watch it fall down, putting it up, watch it fall down.
Then when we tried to put it back in th box...well, try having one crippled hand and put this toy back to sleep, frustrating I must tell you.
I was going to give the game to the second hand store (we donate old toys every other month to them) when my son found a new use for the blocks...they make good blockades for cars and building houses for his army guys.
So, though we don't play the game, our son found another reason to use them and saved me a couple bucks from buying more blocks for his cars.
