How to Play the Jenga Game

What you need

This game can be played with even just two players. There are no restrictions and people of all ages and genders can play this game.

The game can be modified according to the situation and kind of people involved to make it playable and fun. One variation is the Strip Jenga that has become a drinking game at parties.

Now all you need is a box of Jenga blocks and you are ready to roll.

Setup

A standard Jenga board game has 54 blocks that you require to set up the game. One of the players takes the blocks, lays them flat on a floor, table, play mat or any other surface and then starts making a tower out of the blocks. With three blocks in each layer, the standard Jenga tower stands 18 blocks high.

The game starts with the set up when one of the players starts creating the tower. The player puts down three blocks in a line side by side. The first layer of blocks will be facing down.

The next step is to stack three more blocks on them but facing left so that the blocks are at 90 degrees to the previous parallel layer of blocks.

The player then repeats these steps alternatively to make a stable tower of Jenga. Once the tower is standing upright, the game begins.

Steps

1. The player who builds the tower goes first.
2. The player tries to slowly pull out a Jenga block from the tower.

The trick is to successfully pull out a block without breaking or collapsing the tower.

      3. The next step is to stack that pulled out Jenga block on top of the already made tower.

      4. The player will continue the pattern of three parallel blocks on top of the topmost level.

The blocks are either put face down or to the left, resulting in a stable Jenga tower.

      5. These steps are then repeated by all the players involved in the game turn by turn.

      6. The players must do it with one hand; although there are variations where people use both hands, the traditional rule requires you to play using only one hand.

      7. The game ends when one of the players breaks the tower by pulling out the wrong Jenga block.
