The Wooden Tower game

The game “Wooden Tower” or “JENGA” (pronounced “džénga”) is a board game in which players remove wooden blocks from a tower and place them on top. Jenga is played with 51 wooden blocks. The word jenga comes from kujenga, which means ‘to build’ in Swahili. The game ends when the tower is knocked down; i.e. when any piece falls from the tower except the piece the player has chosen to move. The game is lost by the player whose tower falls (i.e. the player who is on the move when the tower falls). The winner is the player who was on the move before him. Alternatively, you can play a variation of jenga with the addition of 4 dice.
