Jenga rules the game with dice. Board game "Jenga" ("Tower") and its variants

The Leaning Tower, or as the game is also called Jenga, is a popular and interesting board game for the company. She is not like the usual games. There are no chips and cards in it, but there are bars of natural unpainted wood (birch).

From the bars, fold a flat tower using the special corner included in the game. Each row should have three bars, each subsequent row is folded in the direction transverse to the previous one. You will get 18 such rows! Turn over the corner and remove it. On the table will be a high, eighteen-story impregnable tower. Now players can go on the attack.

There can be as many battle participants as there are friends gathered in your company. Each player chooses to attack any level and pulls out one of the bars with one hand! This bar, which is in the hands of the player, is stacked on the new, upper, 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 a loser! You can apply sanctions to it, which the players consider fair, with this rule the game will be more intense and long. If you play without it, the game will be more dynamic. Choose the option that suits you. And if dexterous, attentive and smart participants gathered in your company - the height of your tower can grow 2 times!

In the end, if you get tired of playing, the little cubes can be used as a set of cubes for the little builder, since they do not contain varnishes, dyes and stains, but are made of environmentally friendly Vyatka birch.

Equipment:

• 54 bars;
• rules of the game.

Oh no! I dropped the tower again!

Do you have strong nerves? No? Pass by. Are your hands shaking? Also past, next! But if you have a firm hand and steel nerves, this simple at first glance game is for you.

Jengaalso known as Town   (Russia), Leaning Tower of Pisa   (Europe), Earthquake   (Brazil), Brick house   (Denmark stood out among the rest of Europe by its original name).

rules   simple, you can say they are almost there.

First, a beautiful, flat tower of 18 floors is being built. During the game, it can increase more than twice. Do you have high enough ceilings? Each floor consists of three blocks laid close and parallel to each other. The blocks of each next floor are placed perpendicular to the blocks of the previous floor

Jenga. Your little leaning tower of pisa

Jenga. Your little leaning tower of pisa

According to traditional rules, you can touch the tower at any given time with just one hand.

The game continues until the tower falls. It seems that in the first installment this will happen rather quickly.

Now everything is also simple - the one who dropped the tower lost, the one who made the previous move won.

That's it, we are building the tower anew in order to destroy it beautifully again!

Do you think the game has little dynamics? Play others non-classic options for jenga:

- jenga with cubes: More dice will be needed, and the blocks will need to be numbered. Before each block, throw a die and pull out only the block with the corresponding number.

- jenga fantas: on the blocks we are already writing various tasks that are appropriate for your company and party, from “singing a song” and “telling a poem” to romantic evenings - “kiss on the lips” (here you can safely turn to Captain Obviousness and Fanta-flirt for ideas for ideas. Shkolota, bump from the post!). You are limited only by your imagination.

- multi-colored genga: paint the blocks in different colors and play the same with cubes or any other rules of block pulling out by you

Jenga can always be near you, and all these 54 pretty wooden blocks are not needed, the game is available for mobile phones - a java game, a game for the iPhone. Only now for android I have not yet found, I will be grateful for the help in the search.

Hello, friends! The ShkolaLa blog congratulates you on the Coming Day and welcomes you under the heading Home Laboratory!

Be careful and careful! Today, tests are being carried out in our laboratory. Brave experimenters Artyom and Alexandra conduct testing. They have the Jenga board game on their lab table. Have you heard about this? Sometimes it is also called the "Tower". And game makers may be different. But our game is from Hasbro.

By the way, I already told you a little about this toy in this article. And today we will not only tell, but also show.

So what is jenga? What are the rules of the game? What do you do with these bricks? Find answers to these and other questions in the video below.

I think that now everything has become completely clear. The game is really very interesting and perfect as a gift not only to a child, but also to an adult who is still young in soul. And coming up with something better for family leisure is unlikely to succeed.

And what about the age of the players? The description on the box indicates 6+. Just suitable for younger students!

Specially interested in reviews of this desktop on the Internet. We found out that about 20 positive reviews accounted for only one negative. And even that, the negative is mainly associated with the quality of processing game blocks. The fact is that they must be smooth. And some comrades came across poorly processed bars, such rough.

And in this case, they really cannot be pulled out of the tower. I dare to suggest that people simply just came across a fake. Since the Hasbro company has personally never let us down in this regard.

There are varieties of the game "Jenga".

For example, "Jenga Boom."

Here, in addition to the bars, the kit includes a special stand on which the turret is built. This stand at a certain moment begins to tremble and everything falls from it.

Janga Gold has appeared.

In this game, the bars are painted gold and numbers are written on them. So you can play both in the usual version that the guys showed you, and in the game with scoring.

Also, the advantages of the game are:

• its environmental friendliness, bars made of wood;
• and functions that develop attention, logic, and accuracy.

That's all for today! We are waiting for you in our home laboratory in a week next Saturday! We will test the board game "Do not rock the boat"! Do not miss!

Once again, Happy New Year to you !!!

Always yours, Artyom, Alexandra and Eugene Klimkovich!

Here are the heroes of our review today. Let's start playing in seniority at Mikado and Jengu.

But closer to the point ...

How to play jenga?

  The meaning of the game

Our task is to build a tower of blocks, and then carefully pull out one block from the base and rearrange it up. The game continues until the tower collapses. The one who caused the fall of the tower comes up with a punishment. For example, let him build a tower for the next round. If your building blocks are of different sizes (it happens, they can be different in texture or color), then the game can develop according to several scenarios.

Scenario number 1

This is a lightweight version of the game to "shoot" and get acquainted with Jenga. We are building a tower of 16 floors, as shown in the figure above. Consider the game has already begun, since building a high-rise building is the same as assembling a constructor. Further in turn we pull any bar that we like and put it on top of the tower. We continue to complete collapse.

Scenario number 2

Events are developing in the same way as in Scenarios number 2.Only here a cube comes into play. Built a tower, then throw a cube. What drawing will fall out, such a bar and you drag. Each time the tower becomes more unstable, it’s not an hour, and it will crumble like a house of cards.

Scenario number 3

We complicate the game. Let's say we have 2 players. We distribute between them cubes. One player is allowed to drag blocks only with a panda and a giraffe, and the second - with a cheetah and a zebra. Blocks without a pattern remain spare. They can be pulled out to both players, but only in hopeless situations. Here you already have to think carefully))

Scenario 4 - The Domino Effect

We arrange the cubes vertically in a row at a distance of several centimeters. Then, with the flick of a finger, we push the last bar, and the whole row falls together amicably. This is very fun for children))

Scenario 4 - Large construction

Building incredible structures from jengi blocks is almost an art. Our customers are so keen on purchasing a second set of parts. Here, admire ....

And this building seems to be an easy cobweb. Dun, and sprinkled, but no, it’s worth ....

From Jengi, of course, it’s difficult to come off))) But the line is already languishing Mikado, no less interesting game. So let's move on.

Japanese calm with Mikado

Mikado   - An old Japanese game, somewhat similar to our spools. It does not tolerate fuss and sudden movements. You need to play thoughtfully, leisurely, gently pulling sticks out of the general pile. Such finger movements excellently develop fine motor skills in people of any age.

How to play Mikado?

The essence of the game

Pour a handful of sticks onto the table or floor. Then you try to pull out the wand without hitting the neighboring ones. If touched, the move passes to another player. If the "operation" was successful, the move is yours. The whole point is that the sticks have different values, and the player who gets the most points will win.

Stick cost table
  Spirals (Mikado) 1 * 20 points 20 points
  2 blue rings + 3 red rings ("Mandarin") 5 * 10 points 50 points
  1 red ring + 2 blue rings 5 \u200b\u200b* 5 points 25 points
1 red ring + 1 blue ring + 1 yellow ring 15 * 3 points 45 points
  1 red ring + 1 blue ring 15 * 2 points 30 points

If you pulled out the Mandarin or Mikado sticks, you can use them to pull out the rest.

Mikado Game Options

1. Right handed   - complicate your game. If you're right-handed, try pulling out your sticks with your left hand, and if you're left-handed, try with your right

2. Counting sticks   - use Mikado sticks as a counting material

3. Mikado in the ring   - you need a ring that wraps tightly around the sticks. It can be a ring from a pyramid, not too tight elastic band for hair, etc. Fold the sticks in a tube, then rotate them as if squeezing the laundry.

Put the sticks in a ring and place on a flat smooth surface. Now this hut needs to be taken apart. Alternately pull the sticks out of the structure. Who destroys the hut, he lost.

Mikado is so popular that its "garden" version for playing outdoors was even invented. You need to play with giant sticks 90 cm long (!) Try to pull out soooo stick)))

Here they are, “thinking” skill games. Not only fingers, but brain cells become agile. Nice to play you!

Stealing Jeng’s game by slightly changing the parameters of the bars (“significant design differences”) and replacing the name with the original Russian is a worthy answer to Obama from the millennial superpower.

Feedback | tatiana, Togliatti | 22.03.2017

About the cubes. In our game there are also 4 dice and there are numbers on the blocks. So that all the bars were involved, we agreed to arrange them in random order and pull out the bars not only with the number number from the bones, but with any combination that fell on the bones.

Feedback | Anna, Orenburg | 02/07/2016

There are 4 dice in the set, even if there are 6 in each when dropped, then there will be 24. Blocks 54, that is, the maximum number of blocks that can drop 24, and the rest remain unused, so what should it be?

The answer from the store Igroved:    Hello, hello. We believe you have a version of the game with numbers. It is likely that the lower floors with bars remain stationary during the game.

Feedback | Anna, Orenburg | 02/06/2016

How to control their bones 4, and blocks 54.

The answer from the store Igroved:    Anna, good afternoon. Please clarify your question.

Feedback | Sergey, Orenburg | 29.11.2015

I saw the same with friends, only with a cube and color, you have the same color, but there are 3 bars in a row, and I saw exactly 4 in a row of 6 colors and with a cube, I would like just that

The answer from the store Igroved:    Hello, hello. At the moment, in our assortment there is only one version of the color game Jenga.

Feedback | Anastasia, Moscow | 20.11.2015
