Jenga A2120EU4 Classic Game Reviews Summary

Family-Friendly Fun

Pros:

• "Jenga is a classic and our kids have loved adding it to our family game collection."
• "This is a great game to have in the house for younger children because the game rules are so easy."
• "We love Jenga! I purchased this game for my 10-year-old son at Christmas."
• "It's great for laughs and a wonderful way to spend time together."
• "Arrived on time, packaging was great. Hubby and I played once before I put it back together to wrap for my girl!"
• "This was my mom's favorite game to play with the whole family."
• "I volunteer at a Correctional Facility for children and all I can say is that this product has created extra fun moments with the kids."
• "Classic jenga! you can also play math or vocabulary games by writing a math problem or vocab word on a sticker."

Cons:

• "When trying to develop a steady hand, it is like PT for fine motor skills. We play it and don't and leave it set up so we can come back and continue.... Not a good thing to do when there are kids or pets."
• "Even if the box says 6 years+, my 4-year-old loves Zenga. She will slowly push out one block using her tiny hands and laugh every time she gets one successfully. Only problem is she will get angry or sad when the tower topples over!"
• "I had one of these games as a kid, and the one I had used a sturdy sleeve for building and storage. This set only comes with a two-sided cardboard slip, and it doesn't even cover the full height of the tower."
• "This game is a classic and a must-have for every family! I remember playing this game over and over with my siblings....and always having a blast!"
• "It's Jenga, I love it! It's kind of difficult to leave a review on this. I mean, you all know what Jenga is."
• "The actual game is wood blocks. They did those right at least. However, the packaging is a total fail. There's no longer a plastic guard to help assist your helter-skelter block stack into the perfectly aligned tower one wants to start with."
• "There is nothing classic about this. The packaging on the updated version is completely insane and makes absolutely no sense."
• "The blocks are the quality I remember, but the now cardboard (used to be heavy duty plastic) stacking support is 1 row too short and the box is now wider than the stack… it’s now impossible for a child to put away neatly."

Packaging and Design

Pros:

• "Arrived on time, packaging was great."
• "My son asked for Jenga for Christmas, and he's pleased with his new game. I think the wood blocks themselves are quality with smooth, flat surfaces and square edges."
• "I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and excited to write my review. I initially thought they would be too tiny since I'm used to the larger blocks. Happy to say that this was just as good."
• "The shipping time was extremely fast."

Cons:

• "See other reviews with more details. Box is rectangular and game is square. You can’t store the intact game in the box when you are done."
• "Great game but the box is trash. It’s difficult to get all of the pieces back if you need to clean up quickly."
• "Box says it’s the “original” but something is a little off. The blocks seem a little smaller and lighter; not the same quality wood."
• "No matter the age group that's using these jenga blocks, you can DEFINITELY make it fun for EVERYONE. I will say that making it fun for everyone means buying more than one set, lol."

Gameplay Experience

Pros:

• "We have been having SO much fun with these! The consistency is just off enough to make the pieces very challenging to get out while still holding incredible stability."
• "Write a number on each block, then go online and make a spreadsheet for questions to ask your spouse, numbered to match the amount of pieces. Then play the game and ask a question when you take a piece out."
• "Jenga is such a fun game. It takes critical thinking and balance."
• "I love Jenga! Real wood blocks and endless fun."

Cons:

• "The blocks in the set that I bought many years ago were far better made resulting in much less friction between the blocks. This set is almost not playable because the blocks are not well made or properly finished."
• "Blocks not uniform in the set that I got. Bigger pieces catch and will not pull out to use the game."
• "Well I love the original Jenga game, this one is made so cheaply. The blocks do not slide the way that they should, they are not smooth at all, and it's hard to find a single brick that won't completely turn the entire Tower."
• "It's Jenga can't really say much! The blocks appear to be well made; however, the support frame to build the tower is flimsy and probably won't last long."
