This is the main thing that makes people being so excited about the playing this game – emotions rise from one turn to another and it seems that your heart will skip a bit when you are pulling out a block… Keeping the tower in balance, developing new gaming strategies, set new records and make it higher and higher – these are the main charms of the Jenga.

So, the higher is the tower, the riskier will be its condition. The difficulty lies in the fact that with each turn the tower loses stability and grows in height.

The goal of the game is to get the elements from the constructed tower one by one and put them on top. All “bricks” have certain dimensions: width is three times smaller than the length and the width is twice bigger than the height. The total number of blocks is 54, although, there are less often sets of 48 or 60 pieces. Remember the famous LEGO-brand toys, on the boxes of which was written “Ages 4-99”? The same is about Jenga, 99 years or more, you still can enjoy every moment of playing it. Speaking about the maximal age for this game – it is unlimited. According to the rules, Jenga can be played from the age of 6, but some mothers practice earlier attraction of babies for the development of small finger motility. Who knew that this simple game will become the favorite among people of all ages, races, and sex? Unaccustomed to our ear, the name of the game is borrowed from African Swahili and means “build something”. This exciting game comes from the 70’s and was created by Leslie Scott, who came up with new entertainment in her childhood. The name of this game was appropriated to this amusement by the inventor herself. The “Falling Tower” or as the majority of people used to call it “Jenga” is a game for thinking people with deft hands.
