Board logic game tower instructions. Board game "Jenga": rules of the game
The Leaning Tower, or Jenga as it is also called, is a popular and interesting board game for a group. It's not like the usual games. There are no chips or cards in it, but there are blocks of natural unpainted wood (birch).
Build a flat tower from the bars using a special corner included in the game set. Each row should have three bars, each subsequent row is folded in a direction transverse to the previous one. You will get 18 such rows! Turn the corner over and remove it. On the table there will be a tall, eighteen-story impregnable tower. Now players can go on an attack.
There can be as many participants in the battle as there are friends in your company. Each player chooses any level to attack and pulls out one of the bars with one hand! This block, which ends up in the player’s hands, is placed on the new, top floor of the structure. All actions are performed by the participant so that the tower of bars does not collapse! The culprit of the disaster is considered the loser! Sanctions can be applied to it, which the players consider fair; with this rule, the game will be more intense and longer. If you play without it, the game will be more dynamic. Choose the option that suits you. And if your company brings together dexterous, attentive and intelligent participants, the height of your tower can double!
In the end, if you get tired of playing, the blocks can be used as a set of cubes for a little builder, since they do not contain varnishes, dyes or stains, but are made from environmentally friendly Vyatka birch.
Equipment:
- 54 bars;

Poor quality. Chips on the sides since opening the package (((
Answer: You may have received a defective game or it was damaged during transportation. We will definitely help resolve the issue.
Since time immemorial, man has had a passion for flying and other entertainment associated with being away from the earth's surface. Prudent nature did not provide wings, air bubbles, jet engines and other devices in the “higher organism” that would allow it to overcome the force of gravity. In order to somehow realize our dream, we have to invent various devices that will bring us closer to the sky. One of them is towers. Today on the Pink Sofa is the tower-destroying board game “Tower with Forfeits”.
Having created soaring buildings that touch the clouds with their domes, inspired homo sapiens climbs onto the roof and looks triumphantly at the surroundings. Some representatives of the human race use these useless buildings for experiments, dropping cannonballs on the heads of passing comrades and deducing wise formulas. Unfortunately for architects, towers have a tendency to fall, but they do so gracefully and slowly to the admiring glances of those around them. In a word, towers have become an integral part of our lives, so everyone should be able to build them. This is what we will do today.
It is not known for certain who was the first to come up with the idea of cutting the trunk of a century-old oak tree into small pieces and building a tower from them. From time immemorial, children have been building houses from cubes, pebbles and blocks, but the practical Leslie Scott decided to patent this method of construction, added simple rules to it and suggested that Hasbro publish a game called “Jenga”. Everything ingenious is simple, and millions of players around the world have been building towers from wooden blocks for more than 30 years.
And the blocks in my box turned out to be great - polished, smelling like real wood, without knots or potholes. 54 pieces, one to one. Beauty! Lighting a stove is a nice thing, a compact cubic meter of wood for a compact fireplace ( oh, what am I talking about...)
Some rectangles have inscriptions that instruct you to perform some action. Since the version is for children, then... adults can also cope with the tasks. “Imagine a mouse looking for cheese” - no problem! I have three of these mice, and everyone is looking for cheese at night, as well as other goodies in the kitchen...
Let the fires fly!
Cool woodpile... For the game, all the tiles are mixed and placed in tiers, criss-crossing 3x3 blocks. It is better to build this structure on a horizontal (if you find it in our houses) surface, but I managed to build the “Leaning Tower of Pisa” even on my sofa - the structure is quite stable.
Try to ensure that the bars lie flat. The fact is that they will have to be pulled out and placed on top of the assembled base. It looks something like this...
Opponents take turns pushing one block from any floor with one hand and placing it on top of the structure (holding the structure is prohibited). This maneuver must be performed very carefully, as the building gradually turns into a termite mound eaten away by tunnels.
This cannot go on forever; the tower leans dangerously, rivaling its famous Italian brother, and falls with a roar to the joyful cries of those around. Actually, whoever is the “hero of the occasion” collects a mountain of blocks and packs them in a box. If you think this is easy to do, then... then you know the super secret of Jenga packaging! Otherwise, give your friends a lot of positive emotions.
It remains to be mentioned that the one who pulls out the block with the “magic order” is obliged to fulfill it. If you refuse, shame on you forever and ever...
Why are you standing there swinging, Jenga from China...
As a child, I spent part of the summer with great benefit at my grandmother’s, gaining invaluable life experience: climbing through neighbors’ orchards for apples, gorging on someone’s raspberries, running from an evil collective farm watchman and jumping on the roofs of garages (nowadays this is called the fashionable word parkour). And my friends and I had a game called “Izbushka” (I don’t know what it’s called in the original). Take a box of matches and use them to assemble a kind of well with overlapping 4x4 sticks. Then we carefully pulled out the matches and placed them on top of the “house”.
Whoever brought down the hut ran into the orchard for apples. Who would have thought that we were playing the family game of the respected Leslie Scott. And if you remember the towers made of plastic cubes, which I made when I was 3-4 years old in a similar way (there were few cubes, so I made the base, and then rearranged the blocks from bottom to top), then I can rightfully say that I also have a similar “family game passed down from generation to generation”...
But seriously, the game is excellent, and at the same time simple to the point of absurdity: a handful of blocks, basic rules and funny tasks. There are no age restrictions for this game; if you have overcome the age of “what I see is what I eat,” then feel free to pick up the blocks and build your own tower. You will need dexterity and a lot of luck - sometimes the bars line up in such an intricate pyramid that, looking at the construction, you involuntarily question the fundamental laws of physics.
When purchasing, pay attention to the quality of the bars - they must be perfectly polished, since the slightest knot will “pull” the entire building along with it. There is nothing to complain about in my copy - “Neboring Games” has a high level of production of wooden parts... I was pleasantly surprised by the “bonus” in the form of tasks burned on the blocks - it’s definitely more fun to play. People of royal blood, of course, can ignore the inscriptions and simply rearrange the bars meaningfully - but according to their status, they are not supposed to have fun...
The game was provided for review by the online store " ABC Science", a wide range of which will allow you to choose an interesting model for both children and adults.

IGROKRAD |02/23/2019 Stealing the game Jenga, slightly changing the parameters of the blocks (“significant design differences”) and replacing the name with the original Russian one is a worthy response to Obama from a thousand-year-old superpower. | 22.03.2017
Review |Tatyana, Tolyatti
About the cubes. Our game also has 4 dice and numbers on the blocks. So, in order for all the blocks to be used, we agreed to arrange them in a random order and pull out a block not only with the number of the amount from the dice, but also with any combination that fell on the dice.Review | Anna, Orenburg |

There are 4 dice in the set, even if the number 6 comes up in each when thrown, then there will be 24. There are 54 blocks, that is, the maximum number of blocks that can fall is 24, and the rest remain unused, is this how it should be?Review | Answer from the Igroved store:
02/23/2019 Anna, hello. We assume you have the numbers version of the game. It is probably implied that the lower floors with the bars remain stationary during the game. | 29.11.2015

Today I want to talk about an interesting game for two or a large company - Tower. Other names are "Tower", "Jenga", "Jenga", "Top Over". We bought this game a year ago and have never regretted it; it brought us a lot of fun minutes (as well as funny photos).
Rules of the game Tower (Jenga)
Tower consists of 54 wooden blocks, they are laid out 3 on top of each other closely (layers must be laid perpendicular) and form a tall beautiful tower of 18 floors. Now players take turns taking one block from anywhere in the tower (except for the top two, this is too easy) and placing them on the top floor of the tower. Important Note: You only need to take out the block one hand, the second hand lies quietly and does not help to hold the tower, belay, etc. But your one gaming hand can do whatever it wants - poke at all the blocks to check which one is not sitting tightly, straighten the protruding pieces of the tower and whatever it wants. You are allowed to stop halfway to reach the block if you feel this threatens to destroy the turret.
Who lost?
The game ends tower fall, the one who was responsible for this lost, that is, he tried to get his block, and this led to destruction. 
In this case, even a situation in which only one block fell, with the exception of the one that they tried to get, is considered a loss. True, this is very rare. In 95% of cases, the entire tower collapses epically and with a roar.
At what point is it especially interesting to play?
It becomes interesting when the tower actually grows - or maybe it will grow three times in height. Then it hangs on literally by a thread and each player feels great tension during his turn and great joy if he managed to fish out the block without consequences. And also, when an opponent walks, we usually have cheerful encouragement: “Come on, come on, destroy it already!” and inside there is such hope that the move will not reach you. After all, the situation only gets worse with every move.
How to increase interest
Play for desire! How many everyday issues we solved during this game! I washed the floors, and the dishes, and cleaned the apartment :))) But without tears or resentment towards my husband, because everything was decided in a fair fight. No, of course, in fact he laughed at me and went to help. In a large company, we really like to play, who will wash the dishes after our get-together, then everyone play with passion, at least not to lose, because this is at stake! And when all these options get boring and you don’t know what else to think of, then you can use one for every block apply a number and make a sheet with transcripts, and even take an assignment for forfeits. At the moment of destruction of the tower, they look at which block with which number is left in their hands; the task under this number will have to be completed.
From what age
Our two-year-old son loves to play this game, and he’s already getting good at it. I think from three he will already be a full-fledged player. The biggest problem is that the second handle constantly tries to help, but we, of course, allow it :)
How else to use it
When we saw this game on sale, the question of whether to take it or not was not even raised, since we had long wanted a wooden construction set for our child, and compared to a construction set of similar size, the tower was twice as big cheaper! In the end, we took the tower and it turned out to be two in one. My son asks to get the tower almost every day and uses it in all his games. He builds roads, houses, barriers and simply transports them in a truck, loading them with a tractor with a bucket.
