Components

The Hasbro Gaming Jenga Tetris Game includes the following components:

• 48 Tetris-shaped blocks: These blocks come in various colors and shapes, mimicking the classic Tetris game pieces.
• Loading tray: Used to assemble the initial tower.

Setup

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all 48 Tetris-shaped blocks and the loading tray from the game box.
2. Assemble the Tower: Use the loading tray to stack the blocks into a stable tower. Each level of the tower should consist of three blocks placed side-by-side. Alternate the direction of the blocks for each level (e.g., horizontal on one level, vertical on the next). Due to the unique Tetris shapes, some levels may not be perfectly solid or rectangular.
3. Remove Loading Tray: Once the tower is built, carefully remove the loading tray. The tower should stand freely.
4. Player Positioning: Players should sit around the assembled tower, ensuring everyone has equal access.

Operating Instructions (How to Play)

The objective of Jenga Tetris is to remove blocks from the tower and stack them on top without causing the tower to fall.

1. Starting the Game: The player who built the tower or the youngest player goes first. Play proceeds to the left.
2. Player's Turn: On your turn, carefully remove one block from any level below the highest complete level of the tower. You may use only one hand.
3. Placing the Block: Once a block is removed, place it on the topmost level of the tower. Blocks must be placed to complete levels. If a level is completed (meaning it forms a solid row with no gaps), you gain an advantage: you can choose the next player.
4. Maintaining Balance: The challenge lies in maintaining the tower's balance as you remove and place blocks. The unique Tetris shapes add an extra layer of complexity, as they may interlock in unexpected ways.
5. Winning the Game: The last player to successfully remove and place a block without causing the tower to fall wins.
6. Losing the Game: The player who causes the tower to fall loses the game.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe blocks with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store all game components in the original box in a cool, dry place to prevent damage and loss of pieces.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect blocks for any signs of wear or damage. Discard any broken pieces to prevent injury.

Troubleshooting

• Blocks sticking together: If blocks feel sticky or do not slide easily, ensure they are clean and dry. Avoid playing in humid environments.
• Tower instability during setup: Ensure blocks are placed evenly and firmly in the loading tray. If the tower is still unstable, try building on a flat, level surface.
• Missing pieces: Count all blocks before and after play. If pieces are consistently missing, check the storage area thoroughly. Contact customer support for replacement options if necessary.
