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.

The Jenga game is a lot of fun. But the only problem with the Extreme game is it takes to long to set it up, the children got tired of waiting between games. However the blocks in the Extreme game made great building blocks.

wayyyyy tooo hard to play, takes forever just to build it back up because of its shape and the extra oil coat that they put on the pieces

This game is very difficult for childrens, but great for older people who has the patience building the tower. But not too older people...I think ages between 15 and 45 will have real fun with it.

A lot more funt han the original, i'd say for older 'children' - the pieces are a lot more slippery, and the leaning tower tricks you need to keep going are fun.
