Some secret tricks

Trick #1: First of all, look for free bars. Not necessarily they are located on the edges of the floor. In many cases, bars located in the middle of the floor can be pulled out much easier than those which are on the edges.
Trick #2: The bars located on the sides are more convenient to pick out, while those that are located in the center can be pushed with one hand and then stretched out with the same hand on the other side.
Trick #3: When the tower bends, pay attention to the opposite side: some bricks become freer to pull them out easily. This way you will be able to kill two birds with one stone – to pull out the bar easily and to save the balance of the tower.
Trick #4: You can create traps for opponents aggravating the slope of the tower but only if you are sure that you do not bring down the structure with your own hands. And also don’t forget that they can do the same for you after their successful move.

Jenga is the game without limits. It fits all ages, preferences and tastes, people of different nations and with different lifestyles. The one thing that unites all of them is the spirit of rivalry and the pure happiness after each successful move.
