54 Hardwood blocks
Loading tray to assemble tower

Object:
Remove one block at a time from the tower, and then stack it on top. The last player to stack a block without making the tower fall wins the game!

Setup:
Empty the blocks onto a flat surface.
One person uses the loading tray to build up the tower by placing layers of three wooden blocks at right angles to each other. When you finish, you'll have a solicd, 18-story tower that can more than double during play!
Carefully stand the loading tray upright, then remove it so the tower stands by itself.

Gameplay:
The player who built the tower goes first. Play passes to the left.

On Your Turn:
Carefully remove a block from anywhere BELOW the highest completed story. Use only one hand! Then stack the block on top of the tower at right angles to the blocks just below it.

Removing and Stacking Blocks:
Remove and stack one block per turn. Remember: use only one hand (you can switch hands whenever you wish)!
As play proceeds and the weight of the tower shifts, some blocks become looser than others and are easier to remove. You can touch other blocks to find a loose one but if you move a block out of place, you must fix it (using one hand only) before touching another block.
While stacking, always complete a 3-block story before starting a higher one.
Your turn ends 10 seconds after you stack your block - or as soon as the player to your left touches one.
Keep removing and stacking blocks until someone topples the tower. A real pro can build a tower 36 stories high - or more!

Winning:
If you're the last player to stack a block without toppling the tower, you win! The player who makes the tower fall gets to set up the tower for the next game.

Game Variation - Solo Play:
Continue to remove and stack blocks to build the tower taller ... and shakier.
How tall is too tall? Find out when the tower falls!

Re-Storage:
Build a Jenga tower using the loading tray. Carefully pick up the loading tray and tower and place both into the box.
