To Jenga or not to Jenga - 6/10
Jenga is a game of physical and mental skill, the original marketed by Hasbro, in which players remove blocks from a tower and put them on top.
The game in its current form was invented in 1974 by Leslie Scott. It grew out of a childhood game created around a present of wooden building blocks purchased from a local wood craftsman in Ghana.
She brought the game to England in the 1980s and introduced it to her friends at Oxford University. Calling it 'Jenga", she started selling the game and took out copyright on the rules. Jenga was promoted in the United States by Robert Grebler and was first manufactured there by Milton Bradley (now part of Hasbro) in 1987.
The word jenga is derived from kujenga, the Swahili verb "to build"; jenga! is the imperative form.
It works well in multiplayer, but can get very repetitive very fast. It is a game you play when you really got nothing better to do, which for some of us is most of the time
The game responds very well to controller input, and i was impressed by the "lifelike" motion of the blocks, and how the tower responds to "tapping" and "pinning".
The game has some aweful music, so i recommend turning the music volume off.
The game is good for a family that wants a easy but challenging game.
And just so you got something to strive for, the guniess world record is a tower 40 levels high, with 2 blocks into the 41st. (that is only 2 blocks in each level).
