Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Blocks with different shapes and angles provide a whole new, unpredictable way to play! Pull out lower blocks and stack them on top - without toppling the tilting tower! 54 genuine hardwood blocks with storage case included.

Product Description

The traditional Jenga game takes a new angle in Jenga Extreme. Each of the blocks in Jenga Extreme is shaped as a parallelogram. When stacked, the blocks create a shifting, teetering tower that changes direction with each play. Players take turns pulling a block from the bottom of the tower and placing it on top. The object is to be the last player to place a block on the tower before it crashes. Get ready for edge-of-your-seat fun with a different slant.

For two or more players.

3.0 out of 5 stars Much too difficult for children...and some adults, October 12, 2004

This review is from: Jenga Extreme Game (Toy)

This toy was given as a birthday present for my 9 year old son.

It has some faults. First, it is very difficult to set up, especially if you try one of the wacky setups on the instruction page. Second, we have never gotten past more than 3 turns before the whole thing collapses. Maybe we are doing it wrong but we don't have this problem with original Jenga.

The good thing is that my younger children LOVE to use the pieces as building blocks and can make some pretty cool structures.

I think the original should not have been messed with but may be just the challenge someone is after and as building blocks it is rather cool.

MY STUDENTS WERE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT PLAYING THIS GAME. IT TAKES FOREVER TO SET UP AND THE PIECES ARE VERY SLIPPERY. YOU NEVER GET PAST A COUPLE OF STEPS. IT JUST ISN'T VERY MUCH FUN TO PLAY. DEFINITELY BUY THE ORIGINAL JENGA. THIS ONE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD.

Me and my friends really enjoy this game because it is far more challenging than traditional Jenga. However, as some other reviewers have noted, because of the difficult setup and challenging gameplay it is best suited for adults.
