Holiday Wish Guide: JENGA GIANT - A Huge Spin on a Classic

Leslie Scott's JENGA is a true classic - an iconic party game that's legendary status was achieved in relatively short order. Providing families with nearly four decades of fun, the point of the game has always been to go bigger - and while the towers may have been limited only by the 54 stacking blocks in each set, nothing has stopped various licensees from keeping that spirit of "bigger" alive... by making the blocks bigger. JENGA GIANT is one of the latest incarnations of the classic game, with the JENGA GIANT Genuine Hardwood Edition being the tallest authentic wood JENGA game available. The GIANT blocks included with each set are eight times bigger than the original, making this a ton of fun for kids and grownups alike! JENGA GIANT is a featured pick in my 2015 Holiday Wish Guide here at THE ROCK FATHER Magazine.

Fun Fact: JENGA is a 2015 Nominee for the National Toy Hall of Fame. It's currently in the Top 3, facing off against other classic toys such as Battleship, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, PLAYMOBIL, Twister and more. Want to cast your vote? Click here (inductees will be announced November 5, 2015)
