 This is a really nice version of Jenga. February 18, 2007

Both of my 5 year old boys got a Jenga game for Christmas this past year. One got this set and the other got the set that just comes in a box. This is definitely way better because the blocks can be put away nicely in this canister. The box for the other one is flimsy & we've taped it repeatedly already.
As for the game, it's fun & really easy to learn. All of us like it. Every family should have this. None of us are experts yet, but it doesn't matter. The boys like it just as well when the whole tower falls down.
Definitely a good gift for ages 5+. ALL ages would enjoy this.
Nice concept, fun to play February 4, 2007

Jenga is a really addictive game and has no upper limit to the number of people who can play it making it an ideal game-night or party game. This is one game that children and adults can play together, has no learning curve and never gets old or boring. It is surprising that it is not as famous as other games like scrabble or tabboo.
There is ample opportunity to display your skill, judgement and of course, luck in piling up the wood pieces higher at the expense of pieces from lower levels.
Highly recommended for the excitement that it creates when you are able to land a block on a 33 level high wobbly tower.
Fantastic value! October 20, 2009

The blocks are well constructed, durable, and each block has just slightly different measurements from the others to add a little challenge to the game.
Great value, fun to play, and it isn't that hideous mahogany color that new sets come in.
An essential for your game collection. February 6, 2008

This is one of those perfect games that has something for everyone. The pieces are tactile and satisfying to touch. Little kids will just play with them as objects - or as blocks. The game of Jenga itself is instantly easy to learn and is playable by all ages. You just stack them up and then each player takes turns removing pieces until the tower falls. The loser is the one who knocks it over. Tactics are simple and yet the game has great replay value and is satisfying to play even for those with advanced intellects. It's the kind of game a sophisticated adult and a small child can play together with no condescension. It lends itself to party play, but can also be played alone. Unlike many games, it isn't ruined if a piece is lost. All in all this really is one for the ages.
Pleasantly surprised! August 10, 2008

I purchased this game to use as part of a role playing game Dread: A Game of Horror and Hope. I had never played Jenga before, so my husband and I decided to set it up and have a few goes at it so we would know what to expect. We had no idea it could be so much darn fun. The concept is so simple and there are barely any rules. At each turn you must study the structure to find a piece you can remove that will not bring the tower down on your turn while trying to leave your opponents with no good options. Its sheer simplicity leaves a lot of options about game play - it could be a part of a trivia challenge, drinking game, or a host of other party games. The simplicity of the set up and ease of game play make it a great option for players of all ages and skill levels. Highly recommended!
