Jump Out of the Way, The Jenga Tower is Falling!

Posted : December 30, 2019

Jenga is a massively entertaining classic game of physical skill that has been enjoyed for decades now in countless homes across the world. Combining a steady hand with a thoughtful mind, Jenga is a slow and steady game requiring as much stillness as possible, lest the tower come tumbling down on you!

The name Jenga comes from the Swahili word for ‘build’, coined by its creator Leslie Scott. While growing up in the sunny plains of Ghana. This British National’s creativity led to taking something as ordinary as wooden blocks and turning them into a fun game. After a close family friend from Canada approached Scott with the intention of widely distributing her genius game, so began its worldwide popularity and sale.

Jenga involves building the tallest tower possible using long wooden blocks, 54 in total, stacked 3 x 3. The game is set up using a tile provided with the game, which helps you erect your tower perfectly. From this point onwards, players must slide out tiles on any level that they wish, and then one by one continue building the tower upwards.

What many people don’t know about Jenga, is that each tile has been constructed with minimally different dimensions, adding unnoticeable changes that mix up the physics of block removing and adding. In any case, the game requires an ambidextrous eye-hand coordination, precision, and strategy.

No matter how hard you try to get some kind of order going, most people just willy-nilly poke or pull out blocks and add them back onto the top without much consideration. Most people will, of course, make decisions that could potentially bring the tower crashing down, but it’s always thrilling taking a risky poke at a precariously swaying construction.

Jenga comes in various forms, one of the best ones being with large blocks that form quite a high tower. This variation can be dangerous, however, as smaller humans can easily find themselves buried under a dozen heavy blocks with a wrong move.

Jenga brings a kind of meditative peace into people’s lives, as well as much nervous excitement. It forces the mind and body into a quiet stillness needed to play properly, while really getting your nerves going when the tower grows shakily tall. It’s an excellent bonding experience, ice breaker and just all round entertainer.
