Tetris Jenga Review

When I was a teenager I went to my friends house and they had Jenga.  I really doubted that game could be all that fun for people our age.  I mean really it looked like a game for kids.  Uh, no.  It was sooooooo fun, especially when you play with someone like me with shaky hands :P  I was terrible at it, but it was still hilarious!  It's amazing how funny it is when a bunch of blocks go flying all over.  I don't think you ever outgrow that.

I think Jenga is one of those games that my boys are getting old enough to play now, and would really enjoy.

Hasbro has taken a bunch of their classic games and made them new and fresh for the next generation.  So they are games we know and love, but our kids will want to check out too!

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!
Classic stacking Jenga game has a Tetris twist! Blocks have 6 different shapes like the ones in the Tetris game! Complete a solid row and get the right to choose the next player. The last one to pull out a block without crashing the stack wins! Play by yourself or with friends.

This is one of those games that never seems to get old, and now that it is paired up with Tetris it is even more challenging!  I like that the pieces are plastic now because I think they are more durable for whatever my boys can handle it. 

This is a long skinny box so it can fit in the stockings if you are looking for something to fill them out.  Or it makes a great under the tree gift :)
