Jenga is played with 54 wooden blocks; each block is 3 times as long as it is wide, and slightly smaller in height than in width.
This cult variation of Jenga (invented initially by two students in the south of France), possibly Cambridge grads, Stephen Jacque Nunez, and Rudolph Roquemore, involves corresponding each pre-numbered block with different types of a theme.

 Jenga - Review - Blocks around the clock
Jenga, like all the best party games, is very simple in concept but a great deal more difficult to play really well.
Jenga consists of 54 long thin pieces of wood (oh yes folks, I counted them), each about the size and shape of a chocolate bar (not so tasty, though).
As they're wooden and not plastic, their shapes are not, quite, identical, and it is this that makes the game, as the order of placing the blocks becomes central to a player's chances of success.

 Jenga : Retro
The Jenga tower collapsed, everybody laughed (yes, at you), and the original 18-story tower was rebuilt for another round of fun.
Jenga’s simple rules and always-entertaining gameplay made it a favorite in all age groups—kids could understand it, but not even open-heart surgeons could master it.
Milton Bradley expanded the idea into color-coded Throw ‘n Go Jenga (where the block removed depended on a roll of the colored die) and even a Truth or Dare version with questions and dares written on the blocks.

This is, in part, an homage to the deco skyscrapers that started all the rage of "bigger is better" back in the early 1930's.

 ECOLOGY: Food Web Ecology: Playing Jenga and Beyond -- de Ruiter et al. 309 (5731): 68 -- Science
The metaphor of the static arch might better be replaced with the metaphor of the structures built during a variation of the game Jenga (see the first figure, caption).
Simple rules of balance and energetics govern the stability of both arch and Jenga structures, but unlike an arch, a Jenga structure is constantly changing, with additions and deletions of stones, and its stability at any moment depends on the importance of a given ingoing or outgoing stone's contribution to the structure.
The studies also show how to go beyond playing Jenga by revealing the general rules of demography and energetics that tend to stabilize biological communities (15, 16).

 Art Blogs at absolutearts.com - "Jenga" by Walter King
Jenga is a kind of self aggrandizing roll reversal.
If you don’t know the game, Jenga is played using small bars or blocks of colored wood or plastic (most likely ivory and jade in the beginning--I think Jenga came from China) stacked criss-crossed three at a time in layers creating a kind of tower of loose blocks.
Walt, enjoy this dip in ‘normality’ while you can, you are lucky to have that dimension available to you, without it’s bricks and mortar no artist can ever come up with anything capable of building the bridge to those loftier places we artists claim to be in touch with.

 Funagain Games: Jenga
A classic dexterity game, and a mass-market game on top of everything else, Jenga is actually still a lot of fun.
At the beginning players make a gigantic tower by stack little wooden planks, then take turns trying to remove one plank at a time and adding it to the top, thereby increasing the overall 'tippiness' of the tower as well as its height.
When the tower falls (because of a poorly puleed or a poorly placed plank) the player at fault loses.
