Jenga


JENGA, the original wooden block tower building game, was invented in the early 1970's by Leslie Scott, a British citizen. She had spent some years as a teenager living in Africa, and to name her game she coined the term JENGA. After much prodding from her Oxford University friends, who had played the game with her for years, she began selling the JENGA game in the United Kingdom.


We played JENGA at Silyva's house during her birthday celebration. The last time I played this was I believed in 1995, i.e. 12 years ago. My first experience with Jenga was in a summer 'Good News' cafe in Oxford when I participated as a worker for 2 weeks. The second time playing Jenga brought back the good old memories.. Those were the good old days...
