Jenga: Tetris (2013)

About this game

Players play Jenga now with different blocks shaped after 6 Tetris pentominoes. From the Manufacturer: Get a whole new angle on Jenga. It's the classic stacking game with a Tetris twist. The blocks are shaped like the ones in the electronic Tetris game, so it's a brand new challenge to pull them out and stack them on top. And just like Tetris, if you can complete a level so it's solid, with no gaps, you get an advantage – you can choose the next player. The last one to pull out a block without bringing the whole stack crashing down is the winner. Play against yourself or take on your friends in the stacking, pulling, crashing challenge of Jenga Tetris.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 99. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
