Jenga Game Instructions

Set Up

• 1

  Place the Jenga loading tray on its side. Place three blocks alongside one another in the tray facing the same direction to form the bottom level.

• 2

  Place another three blocks in the tray, rotated 90 degrees from the direction of the first row of blocks, to form the second level.

• 3

  Place the remaining blocks in the tray three at a time, rotating the direction of the pieces 90 degrees after each completed level, until you've used all of the blocks and created 18 levels.

• 4

  Stand up the loading tray in a vertical position. Slide the tray up and over the tower of Jenga blocks.

Game Play

• 5

  Start play with the person who constructed the Jenga tower, then proceed clockwise, with each player taking a turn.

• 6

  Use only one hand to remove a block located anywhere beneath the highest completed level. Place this piece on the top of the tower rotated 90 degrees from the direction of the blocks on the level below it. Place no more than three blocks in a level, and complete one three-block level before building a higher level.

• 7

  Correct the position of any block you accidentally moved out of place before touching any other blocks. End your turn 10 seconds after you place your block on top of the tower.

• 8

  Proceed with each person removing and stacking one block per turn, until one player causes the blocks to topple. The winner is the last person who successfully completed a turn before the blocks fell.
