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: 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...
Pros: Teaches Hand-eye coordination, precision, patience, forethought, and physics, fun, easy, durable! Cons: Can get boring after a long while!!
Not only is this toy extremely durable (how can you really break those small blocks of wood?), it's incredibly flexible as a toy. My family and I have played this game for hours. When I went back to my computer/book/sleep, he'd stay occupied with the...
I would lie to give you my review of this game called Jenga. I played this game with my Nephews when I got to stay with them for a while so this game is a fun family game to play. For all ages from ages 5 and up
Pros: takes patience and accuracy Cons: like all games gets boring
One of the simplest games us adults play. I understand that kids do too. I've been playing Jenga for as long as I can remember. In this game three wooden pieces are place in each row skyward. The pieces are pushed out one at a time from any row but...
Pros: edge of your seat fun, challenging Cons: restacking the blocks
How tall is too tall? find out when the tower falls! the object of this game is to remove one block at a time from the tower, and then stack it on top. The last player to stack a block without making the tower fall wins the game! When you move a block,...
Pros: fun, thinking game, few pieces, no batteries, durable Cons: none
Whoever was the creator and/or marketing genius behind this game should have gotten a huge bonus for this coup. You would think that a game that consists entirely of wood blocks would not have a great shelf life as far as entertainment and durability...
Pros: interesting game, unique, learn patience, requires skill Cons: can be very frustrating
When you look at the landscape of games on the market, there are many that are fun. At the same time, it is hard to find a game that actually involves physical skill and cool nerves. The closest example that I can think of is strictly for kids:...
Pros: A challenge, intense, lots of fun. Cons: Takes concentration, patience, and thought.
I had to cut myself off from playing Jenga. That's how addicted I can be to it. At a party a couple of years ago, a friend and I got bored with the group conversation and pulled out Jenga. We were a couple of fierce players and although we had a few...
Pros: great for concentration Cons: frustrating when it falls
The set-up of this game often takes longer than the actual play. Meticulously setting up the rectangular blocks, three in a row, each layer in the opposite direction from the layer above and below it. The game can be played with few or many people, but...
Pros: It's a fun game which has education Great game for the entire family!al and developmental perks! Cons: Can be frustrating for little ones. It's more fun for kids who are all about the same age playing.
From the time I can remember seeing Jenga advertised on television, I never felt the urge to run out and buy it. I guess a big part of why is because my brothers, sister and I never owned Jenga. Normally, the games I buy for my kids are board games....
Pros: physically challenging, nerve wracker Cons: annoying to put back together
People, especially guys, play games to compete. Nobody likes to lose, but some people more than others. Having a good time is fine and dandy, but for many being the winner is more important.
Jenga is one of those games where you really don't...
A few years ago some friends of mine introduced me to this game. I went the next day and bought it for my family. It is soooo addicting! We play for hours at a time, and it never gets old.
The object of the game is to remove a block from...
Pros: Family game that will last a long time. Cons: None.
Jenga is such a cool game. My parents and I love it. When there is a power outage, out come the Jenga game. We have such a great time playing it. Sometimes we use pens to push the blocks out instead of our fingers. We got this game when I was younger....
Pros: Jenga is a fun and strategical game. Cons: The part that you have to build up the blocks again after someone has destroyed it.
I love this game.. Although my young ones have had this game forever, I still love it. Although the concept of the game is simple and doesn't take much out of you, it's still fun. It still has been fun for all those years. ^-^ When there is nothing to...
Pros: Intense and fun party game Cons: Someone has to clean up the mess
Jenga is an intense game that requires soft spoken communication, and hand coordination. Jenga is a pile of blocks and each player has to take out one block and stack it on top. The player that makes the stack of bricks collapse loses. This game is...
Pros: builds motor skills, challanging, family time Cons: none
I didn't know that I was even going to write this review until I happened upon another review. I was taken back to a time and a place that I had sadly forgotten.
That time was abot 10 years ago, and the place was my parents' living room. My...
Pros: Hours of Fun! Cons: Putting the tower back together...
Jenga, the incredible action packed game consisting of only wooden blocks.
This fantastic game offers incredible entertainment value, as hours can be spent playing this simple easy to learn but terrifically exciting game. The rules are simple:...
I love playing Jenga. On Friday nights the church in town sets up a thing called the fifth quarter. You come to it after basketball games or wrestling matches. Here they have free food, games, and music. They put this on to keep teenage kids in the...
Pros: Never the same game twice Cons: Pain to stack the blocks back up!!!
The first time I played this was when I was over my neighbors house with my mom and we played in teams. It was my mom and I against my mom's friend and her son. I thought it was a boring game at first, but after the first game I got hooked. A few...
Pros: Simple, Fun, Entertaining for all ages! Cons: May get boring for some quickly
Some people think that Jenga is just too hard to beat. The game consists of a tower of rectangular blocks stacked up by threes, alternating in direction. You can play with as many people as you want, and you take turns taking out any piece from...
Pros: Fun game. Good stratagy for such a simple game. Cons: darned if I always lose
This game is so very fun with large groups of people.
The point of the game is simple, DON'T LET THE TOWER FALL OVER. This game gets very nerve racking when some like myself starts to play. I do not have the most unshakable hands in...
Pros: Concentration & family fun for all ages Cons: box it comes in
This game is incredibly fun. I originally bought this game for our daughter but as soon as we opened the box, my husband and I have taken it over. This is fun for all ages. My 5 year old has learned to concentrate while he's removing a block....
Pros: Appeals to large age group, male and female. Cons: Maybe easily mistaken for pet toy?
My brother gave me Jenga as a birthday gift about ten years ago. We love it. It's a great game to pull out when you are having a group of friends over. It's one game that the guys and the girls always agreed on.
The game is played by...
Pros: fun for a bit... blocks are nice to stack Cons: same thing every time, not particularly exciting
Well, I've never been a spectacular fan of Jenga. It's simple, true, but maybe too simple. There's no variation or strategy involved, and once you get the hang of it, the loser always becomes the one with the awful luck to be left with no easy pieces...
Pros: Easy to set up and clean up; all ages Cons: Blocks can scratch wood tables
Jenga is a game for adults and children alike. I originally played this with a group of adults at a party. Both my 14-year-old and my 10- year-old-like playing it as well.
The rules are simple enough that young children can play....
Pros: Great for every age Cons: loud when it falls
My son received Jenga for Christmas. I was leary of putting it on his list as he has little or no patience when it comes to losing or playing something that takes time. We have had so much fun with this game. He has developed a great will to take his...
Jenga is a game for any occasion! I play it at a lot of parties. I also play it with my family. The suspense can kill you. You can never know when it is going to topple over! You must be able to consentrate on what you are doing and ignore the people...
Pros: fun simple game Cons: doesn't compare to the fun of BLOCKHEAD!
Jenga is another game in the long line of "don't screw up" games. My first game of this type was pick up sticks, a simple game that included a handful of sticks that were dropped to the ground. Each person had to remove a stick without...
My husband received this as a gift over five years ago. We have played it maybe three times. Don't get me wrong, the game is pretty fun,and I like the concentration that goes a long with it...however when the other person messes up, the whole thing comes...
Pros: Can decide a family champion! Cons: If you have big fingers, or sneeze, forget it!
This is a great family game, particularly for grown children to play with each other and their parents. The game involves little pieces of wood that have to be removed one at a time, and then placed on the top of the structure. You have to be able to...
Wow, this was twenty dollars well spent. I think I have played this game more than Chess. In college, we'd hold grand tournaments, and growing up, me, my brothers, sisters, and my mother would indulge in grand tourneys as well.
We all had...
When I read this I really wanted to go out and buy this for my very own grandchildren. Sometimes when I have my grandchildren I can't figure out what to play. So here I go out to the buy this game JENGA! Thanks for such a excellent opinion of this...
Jenga is a simple game. Each person in turn removes one of the blocks from the wooden tower and places it on the top of the tower. If the tower falls, that person is the loser. Although almost any...
Pros: fun for a group of people.. up to 8 I'd say Cons: none
Hi, I just read ptn's epinion of jenga where he complains
"that not all the blocks are uniform. this makes some blocks much, much easier to take out than others. that ruins the fun of the game. all of the blocks can be equal. unless the...
Pros: Easy to find, multi or single player, good teaching tool Cons: noisey crashes, patience a must
Before Jenga hit the market, there once was a game called Tumbling Towers. By comparison, I can see no difference in the two games withthe exception being the name and the price. I believe that Tumbling Towers changed it's name to...
Jenga is a fun game to use for a rainy day. The game consists of 54 wooden blocks stacked in many rows: three in one direction, three in the other on top of that, and alternating up the large tower. The game comes essentially with the box, the ...
Pros: great fun for parties or families Cons: players can get a little wild
We were given this game as a gift one year
and I have to say it is one of the most fun
and entertaining games I have ever played.
It is most fun to play with a large group of
about 6 to 8 people so it makes a great party
game....
Pros: easy, portable, fun, challenging- PERFECT Cons: the fact the game doesn't come with a little monkey to stack up the peices again
If I was stranded on a deserted island and I could bring two things, then I would definately bring Jenga and something else. That something else become pretty irrelevant when I already know I'll have Jenga. I suppose the something else would need to be...
Jenga one of the funnest games out there. It's small and compact and you can take it anywhere. Now there's a new version of jenga which is a coloured version and makes the game more interesting. Basically this game tests how well and how stable your...
I had got this toy for a friend for christmas and i hated it really bad the who concept to build and not to destore but the thing it everytime it falls you have to rebulid it and that is just stupid it isnt educational or fun at all.
I personally...
Pros: strategy game extraordinaire, cheap Cons: easy to lose pieces, don't want to play this near a lot of vibration
This is another family favorite. We paid $11.99 for this game and have enjoyed numerous evenings with it. This is a game of skill and light touch, you've got to be careful in deciding which piece you want to pull away.
Pros: fun Cons: stressful for a competitive player
This is another one of those games. Edge of your seat. If anyone makes a noise you can blame it on them. A time to really show your balance and engineering skills. I really wouldn't prefer or recommend this game to anyone, because it isn't something...
Pros: easy enough for anyone but not boring Cons: none
Jenga is a fun game for the entire family. I bought this game for my nephew for his birthday and the whole family wound up playing it for at least an hour.
Jenga is a game where you stack the blocks into a tower and then take the lower blocks...
Ok, my boys LOVE Jenga. They get a new set every year for Christmas. It doesn't cost much, but some times I get so mad at them over these. They love to play them so much, that they leave them out. Next thing you know the dog has a new chew toy! They boys...
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 this. He thoroughly enjoys getting me in a predicament of having to be very bold with removing one of the jenga pieces and then laughs and laughs when the whole thing...
Pros: great fun for the whole family, doesn't require great memory or knowledge of trivia Cons: the little stacking box that came with ours to help build the tower broke but I think they are made more durable in the newer versions
Gee, we are adults. How much fun could stacking little wooden blocks be? Well you would be surprised!
Jenga is one of the most fun games for adults and children alike that we have played in a long time. The whole object of the game is to...
Pros: Cheap, Helps teach coordination and building skills for kids Cons: NONE
This is one game that I bought shortly after it came out. The objective of the game is to get it as high as you can with out knocking it over. Sounds simple? Well, its not. You to have very steady hands. The other way you can play is by only using...
The simplest of games are the most fun. Jenga is no exception. A very simple game. the Jenga tower is made up of blocks of wood. Players must take turns removing the blocks and stacking them on top of the tower. The player who makes the tower fall...
Pros: Great tower stacking fun for all Cons: Set-up and Clean-up is a hassle
Alright, horrible title for an opinion, I know. Anyway, I'm here to talk about one of the most popular party games on the market, Jenga. The box consists of 54 wooden blocks and 1 plastic loading tray. It was first released in 1986 by Milton Bradley....
Jenga is truly a fun game for all to play! And it can be addictive because you want to continue to try to get your tower higher and higher than the last time.
The game is actually just a bunch of rectangular blocks that you stack up three...
Jenga's charm comes from its simplicity and appeal to all ages. This isn't a game where Grandma's vocabulary or a block of questions from Aunt Myrtle's teen years will bore the younger set to tears. When it's rainy outside and you want to turn off the...
You should hide this game from me if you want me to get things done around the house. It is a game that if left on the table, will lure me in. "Just one quick game" I say to myself. Standing next to the table I start to play, soon I will be...
Pros: fun for the whole family, durability Cons: none
My family was given this game as a gift several years ago and it still gets played often. Whether it is the kids playing or us adults it is a whole lot of fun. Jenga is a game consisting of wooden blocks that you start off with in a perfect stack with...
Crash, bang, oops. That's the end let's do it again. The game can last a short time or pretty long depending on the players. A game from 2-? we sometimes play in teams. This is a game for the steady hand and no good for you if you are a serious caffeine...
Jenga, the object of this game is to take wooden block from the tower that you have built and place it very gently on the top of the tower. Then it's the next persons turn and they must do the same thing. Take a block from somewhere in the tower without...
Pros: great for parties Cons: not fun for only 2 people
I bought Jenga for my husband for a Christmas present. He has been wanting it for a while. We played this game with some of our friends, and we loved it.
I decided that I would buy Jenga so we could have it to play anytime that we wanted...
Pros: Blocks are big enough even for very small children and easily found Cons: Pain to put back in the box
My 10 year old son received this game for Christmas two years ago. He didn't care much for it since you had to rebuild the blocks if you knocked them down. They went into the computer drawer where I thought they would stay, but my then 4 year old spied...
Pros: Never gets old, Can be played by any number of players, Easy to learn Cons: none
The first time I played Jenga was in college, when we were sitting around one night in someone's dorm room and there was no tv and not much to do. I fell in love with it right away, and couldn't wait until it was my turn to play.
To pull or not to pull .... that's the dilemmia with Jenga. This is one of those games that seem to be so very simple. A set of rectangular wooden pieces stacked to form a tall cube. Everyone takes turns pulling out a piece and the one that causes the...
Pros: Challenging, fun, and great to play with friends & family! Cons: Irritating & boring to continue stacking up the Jenga blocks.
This game is definitely one of those games that you and your children can sit around and play together. It combines a little thinking, tons of fun, and a lot of luck to make a great classic game that is played by many people all across the country. ...
I'm the nerd who's good at party games. You probably know someone like me. Whether it's Pictionary or Scrabble, somehow I wind up winning. Same with Jenga. But now I've ditched the official rules. Here's why:
Pros: Fun for any number of players Cons: May become repetitive after a few rounds
This is a very basic game that still manages to be a lot of fun. Depending on the skill (and luck) of the players, this game can be over very quickly, or last a relatively long time. Although younger kids may not have the steady hands to play when the...
Pros: exciting and nerve-racking Cons: after a while it gets tedious to set up
This game seemed very simple and I thought it would be a fun, challenging experience. Everyone in the family enjoyed it, it kept everyone's attention for hours. I actually had to tell them to stop! Not many games are this simple to play yet so...
Pros: Great for learning hand eye coordination with children!! Cons: Might be a little hard for some kids.
First off, I didn't buy this game, when I moved back home it was here. This game is great it provides good hand eye coordination for children and adults. My little brother is a Jenga freak and also is better at it then every one in the house, but he is...
Pros: good hand-eye coordination practice Cons: re-stacking is a drag
I had this game a long time ago. I lost it somehow in one of my many moves and I actually think my sister still has it and isn't telling me. Any how we bought another one this year for our family. Our oldest daughter is now 6 and wants to be able to play...
Pros: Fun and Entertaining Cons: Newbies who play!
Jenga! Jenga! Je-Je-Jenga! I still hum the tune to one of the funnest games ever to be put onto the market. The rules are simple and are explained in the commerical on television.
"You take a block from the bottom and you put it on top...
Jenga is quite a fun game, where lots of wooden bricks are piled on top of each other and players take the bricks out of it and put them on top. Sound boring? Not really. The player who is the last to move a brick before the pile falls looses.
...
When I was first introduced to this game, I thought that it would be a very boring game. Boy was I wrong, it was a very fun and addicting game. You just keep playing to see how high you can get and to see who is going to make it fall.
Pros: Simple, yet challenging Cons: It should come with somebody to stack the blocks for you
Whoever came up with this game was a genuis. It is such a simple concept, but it makes you think. And it is addicting as hell. I've spent hours with friends stacking up those little wooden blocks, and then trying to pull them out one by one, and not...
Pros: This is fun! Cons: Sometimes it ends too soon.
I love this game...it takes skill and stability for everyone playing and it teaches the younger ones how to slow down and take a breather before jumping into anything. I love the way that even if you breath hard it is going to fall if you have built your...
Pros: Easy to play, challenging, always provides laughter Cons: LOSER SETS UP NEXT GAME
Jenga is a great party game. Everytime I have friends over, the Jenga game always is the first one to be pulled out to play. It's a skillful strategy game where you see who can continue to pull blocks out and place them on top without making the stack...
Pros: It's a great game to play when you're bored Cons: none
Jenga. What a game to play with your friends when you're bored and looking for some fun. At first glance, one would think this game would be to easy to play. That person would be wrong. You have to study each piece of this rising block. Look for it's...
Jenga is a really fun game, but it's not the easiest. First of all, you stack all these little wooden things in a certain way, making a tower of little bitty blocks. Then you try and pull out the blocks without knocking over the tower.
Pros: fun for the whole family Cons: stacking them all back up..
I bought this game for something to do on those boring rainy days. I was looking for something that we could sit and do as a family, and I found it in this game.
My 7-year old daughter just loves it, and suprisingly is pretty good at it. And...
jenga is one of the few games in my home that the whole family can enjoy together. my three year old enjoys it asmuch as my 15 year old. often, the youngsters can be as successful as the elders. we love it at my home. it is fast moving and involves...
Pros: Good for firewood, box can be used as a bookend Cons: Boring, Expensive, Waste of good wood
This game is bland, becomes boring quickly and is certainly overpriced. Perhaps a suitable use would be for firewood. It destroys the environment. It's a decadent use of environmental resources to provide mindless fun for people that don't have a life. I honestly can't think of any reason to buy a few small chunks of wood for $20. Give me a break.
