Jenga

Pros: Good family fun, easy to learn
Cons: Can get loud...

I remember well the commercials for Jenga...and the constant whispered chant, Jenga, Jenga, Jenga. At the time I had no idea what this silly chant was all about.

Then one of my husbands sisters gave us Jenga for Christmas one...

Pros: fun, addictive
Cons: noisy, pieces scatter when tower falls

Jenga is one of those games that look easier then what it is. The object of the game is to build and NOT destroy.

Jenga comes with 54 rectangular blocks. These blocks are either cream colored wood blocks or red, blue and yellow...

Pros: Game length, social value, simplicity
Cons: Skill levels of players may vary, making it less fun for advanced players

I bought Milton Bradley's Jenga several years ago for two children when they were just 7 and 8 years old. Now, they are 11 and 12 and Jenga is still a family mainstay. One of the best parts of Jenga is the game's relatively short length. It isn't ...

Pros: A good strategy game that is constructed well, and can be helpful in skill-building.
Cons: The hole in the box, and the set-up time.

Jenga is a stacking game that consists of fifty-four wooden blocks, that come in a box, with each looking like a miniature 2" X 4" piece of lumber. The game starts with 18 layers of three blocks each, stacked to make a tower, with the rows ...

Pros: Good for a few laughs at first
Cons: Not enough questions or dares, gets boring quick.

I hosted a party this past weekend. As the hour grew late and the party wound down, I found myself surrounded by several of my night-owl friends who’d stayed to talk. Someone mentioned playing a game, and without hesitation my husband broke out the new...

Pros: Challenging, Fun To Play, Thats all that matters.
Cons: Takes a long while to put back together.

Jenga, Jenga, Jenga...

This game is basically a game that determines who in this world has the steadiest hand. In a quick description, this is what you do...You balance the wooden blocks, take out the wooden blocks, do not let the...

Pros: History, stratagy, and castle building material.
Cons: PLaying with the blocks is like playing with hundreds of dead Mayans, Aztecs, and Suix

Jenga is a game with a history richer then chess. It isn't just a game of tower building. It is a game for power, for honor. There are so many strategies to playing this game it rivals chess and checkers. It is a game that is played, but to play it...

Pros: Good for the whole family
Cons: I'm no good at it

A well-meaning relative bought this game for my family one Christmas. I think he used some soft-hearted line of reasoning for his pick--something like thinking it would help "bring us together" and inspire us to spend more "quality family...

Pros: Challenging game for the whole family, lots of fun!
Cons: Stacking pieces back up after they fall

I got Jenga a few years ago and enjoyed playing it with my husband, who is now a master at it, or so he thinks. The game consists of wooden rectangular blocks that you stack in rows of three, with every other row being at a 90 degree angle to the row...

Pros: Simplicity, good for many skills levels, fun!
Cons: none

As someone who works with elders, I am constantly seeking interesting, simple, inexpensive and "just plain fun" activities for people who may have lost physical strength, muscle tone, and even some mental capacity. Jenga is one of the first...

Pros: Builds coordination and concentration
Cons: Picking up the blocks

I think I bought this game as an "extra" present one year for Christmas - you know, one of those to have just in case someone you weren't expecting a gift from gives you one. It sat in the closet for almost a year, and one day my then 5 year...

Pros: Good for children, if there is nothing else to do
Cons: Gets a little boring

Jenga, this game has been around for a couple of years now. There are now several different versions such as truth or dare which i do not recomend, and then there is just the plain old jenga. The sound of the blocks can get annoying and the loader does...

Pros: Great fun with a simple tower
Cons: concentration is the key, so I had to restrain from laughing! hehe

Jenga was a game I bought out of desperation for my son. My child who is 8 had asked for Uno Stacko (actually he asked his aunt and she mentioned it as we strolled through Target) but it was not to be found. I picked up the Jenga box and figured...

Pros: alternatives add more fun to the game
Cons: It's Jenga, there are probably better things to do.

Warning: There are enough Jenga reviews that I do not need to go into great detail. What I want to add is variations of the game that college students may find fun. In the first section I give a brief, objective review of Jenga. So if you...

Pros: Entertaining, teaches sportsmanship, encourages laughter
Cons: Grandma's usually lose

And they all came tumbling down!! What a fun game. My grandson and I love to play Jenga. He thoroughly enjoys getting me in a predicament of having to be very bold and removing one of the jenga pieces and then laughs and laughs when the whole thing...
