Jenga Game Instruction Manual

1. Product Overview

The Jenga game is a classic block-stacking, stack-crashing game designed for players aged 6 and up. It challenges players' dexterity and strategic thinking as they carefully remove wooden blocks from a tower and place them on top, striving to maintain balance and prevent the tower from collapsing. This game is easy to set up and learn, making it suitable for impromptu fun with family and friends, and a great addition to game nights or parties.

2. What's in the Box

• 54 Hardwood Jenga Blocks
• Stacking Sleeve with Instructions

3. Setup

To set up the Jenga tower, use the included stacking sleeve. Place three blocks side-by-side with their long sides touching. Then, place another three blocks on top, perpendicular to the first layer. Continue stacking layers of three blocks, alternating their direction, until all 54 blocks form a stable tower. Carefully remove the stacking sleeve once the tower is complete.

4. Operating Instructions (How to Play)

1. Starting the Game: The player who built the tower goes first, or players can decide on another method.
2. Taking a Turn: On your turn, carefully remove one block from any level below the highest completed level. You may use only one hand. You can tap blocks to find a loose one, but once you touch a block, you must attempt to remove it.
3. Placing the Block: After removing a block, place it on the topmost level of the tower. Blocks must be placed perpendicular to the blocks immediately below them, completing a layer of three before starting a new one.
4. Winning the Game: The game continues with players taking turns until the tower falls. The player who causes the tower to fall loses the game. The player who successfully completed their turn before the tower fell is the winner.

Game Variations

Beyond the standard rules, Jenga blocks can be used for various creative gameplay. Some players write challenges, truths, or dares on the blocks, which must be completed by the player who removes that block. This adds an extra layer of interaction and fun to the classic game.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your Jenga game, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the wooden blocks with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust or dirt. Avoid using water or harsh cleaning agents, as they may damage the wood.
• Storage: Store the blocks in their original stacking sleeve and box to keep them organized and protected from damage. Keep them in a dry place away from extreme temperatures or humidity.
• Handling: Handle the blocks with care to prevent nicks or dents, which could affect the smoothness of gameplay.

6. Troubleshooting

• Tower falls too easily: Ensure the playing surface is flat and stable. Blocks should be stacked tightly and evenly during setup. Practice gentle and deliberate movements when removing blocks.
• Missing blocks: If any blocks are missing, the game can still be played with fewer blocks, though the tower will be shorter. For replacement parts, please contact Hasbro Gaming customer support.
