Epic Win: Jenga


jenga

Submitted by Picture Pocket

Here’s how to turn Jenga into a drinking game: write things on the bottom sides of the Jenga blocks; when each player pulls out a block, they have to do whatever is written on it — drink, pick someone to drink, waterfall, ten fingers… you’re only limited by your imagination and desire to get hammered.

Oh yeah, and the person who knocks over the whole stack has to drink ten beers. Sorry, that’s just the way it goes.

Juniper Jupiter sez:

You know what was REALLY fun? Doing the “Jenga Face” on purpose when the tower came down.

My brother-in-law and I noticed on the box how the whole family’s faces looked like they were in mock terror as their tower went down, and we realize that NOBODY does that face for real, so we decided to do the “Jenga Face” when one of us knocked down the tower to mess with people.

That was fun!

  1. KaBooM says:

    Why do they include more recent things? STUPID. How is this nostalgic?

    • ZeroCelsius says:

      @KaBooM

      Recent? WTF are you talking about? Jenja has been around since 1983! Do some research before you spout crap, fool.

      • URAFool says:

        @zerocelsius
        1983 is pretty recent. You must be like the idiots on ebay that think something from 1980 makes it “Vintage.”

        • ZeroCelsius says:

          26 years ago is recent? I guess maybe to someone that old…

        • Ela13 says:

          Well, for one thing, In the 90’s, stuff from the 70’s was considered vintage or classic. Example 1: Classic Rock. 20 Years is a long time, and things like Jenga can still be considered nostalgic for those who are in their 20’s-30’s because it was a childhood game.

      • KaBooM says:

        1983 is not OLD. And most DEFINITELY NOT vintage. I’ve done my research. And fyi, resorting to ad hom attacks only makes you look ignorant.

        • puppies for all says:

          you’re kind of a dick, aren’t you

        • SpeeD says:

          Tons of stuff on here is from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, including the background, which is “Asteroids”, circa 1979.

          It’s not a site about “vintage” stuff. It’s a site about nostalgic stuff. That doesn’t have an age requirement.

        • ahem says:

          is this your first time on this page? 99% of the stuff pictured is from the 80’s/90’s….not just jenga, and yeah, @puppies for all : he IS kind of a dick, isn’t he?

  2. Axemath says:

    I would always cheat at Jenga by always pushing out the middle block which causes the least probability of makin g the tower fall.

    • URAFool says:

      Wow thats not cheating….

    • Ela13 says:

      I did the opposite. I always liked to make it really difficult for everyone by taking out the outsides on consecutive sections. So by the time someone knocked it over, there were usually 2-4 middle blocks balancing on top of each other.

    • ZeroCelsius says:

      I remember that not all of the blocks were perfect, you know, minor impurities in the shape, so only some of the center blocks came out perfectly, and only some of the edge blocks as well. You just had to find the loose one.

      OMG OMG OMG!!!

      I’m FAMOUS!!!! :D Okay, not really, but still!!!

      But…I’m a chick! :P Anyway, I don’t think that was the picture. If I remember correctly it was like a family with two younger kids, but I can’t seem to find a picture of it!

      But the guy on the left has that look…he just needs to open his mouth just a leeetle bit wider!

      Thanks for featuring me!!! Sweet!

  4. Stick says:

    I bulit way more forts with Jenga blocks and dominos more than I ever played either game.

  5. the wind says:

    lol at the asian guy!

  6. crystaldragon says:

    Recipe for Disaster:

    3 people (one person must not know what is going to happen)
    1 Jenga game
    1 pair of symbols

    you can only imagin what will happen

  7. Crackle says:

    That isn’t the right picture. They aren’t making that face because the tower is falling, that’s truth or dare jenga. (it is a really bad version of the game by the way.) they are making the dumb faces because he’s singing on a dare. (the red block in his hand)

  8. jameshogg says:

    I was drunk once, and I was playing someone at this who was sober.

    And won :) Was quite proud.

    Trick is to just find ways to relax your fingers.

    And if you are really Psychologically trained, plant all sorts of foreshadowing suggestions into the mind of your opponent and they will panic whenever the tower shakes (but as long as you can disengage with your own thoughts).

  9. Blue says:

    I remember my brother making up a Jenga song and recording it into this cheap recorder…good times. :D Still remember the actually diddy, too.

  10. Rosie says:

    How melodramatic. LOVE IT

  11. Andy says:

    Actually, that last picture is from the box for Truth or Dare Jenga. They’re making fun of the guy singing as a dare.

  12. Kindra says:

    Seriously, what is up with those faces? and to the guy with his mouth open “cock goes where?” I hope everyone knows that meme.

  13. no says:

    orange shirt’s expression is magic

  14. Manderina says:

    The bottom pic is from truth-or-dare Jenga. My sister and I got it for Christmas when we were 6 and 8. It’s a horrifying game to receive when you’re that young, because it has somewhat “adult” type questions (ie. what’s your favorite battery operated toy and why?)…that one got the game “put away” until we were older…we never understood why!

    Anyway, found truth-or-dare Jenga when I was packing for college and randomly brought it with me. Best. Drinking. Game. EVER!! =P

  15. Amanda says:

    My friends and I found a truth or dare Jenga at someones house during a party in senior year.

    Fantastic.

  16. Reality Check Guy says:

    You’ve obviously never played a drinking game if you think that part of it is to drink ten beers. That’s a gallon of beer all at once. You can’t do that if you’ve already been drinking. Be realistic.
