Jenga GirlTalk Pink Edition

I recently re-discovered the game of Jenga and I'm so glad I did. For those of you who don't know or remember what Jenga is, it's a game in which you have to stack wooden blocks, following certain rules, one on top of another to form a tower. The object of the game is to pull out the lower blocks and stack them on top again without toppling the tower. Hold on, it's not as easy as it sounds. It's a pretty tricky job to remove a block without disturbing the tower, though it's not impossible. You also have to apply strategy in planning out your moves. Here is some great information on Jenga from Wikipedia.

As much as I like the original Jenga game, I'm almost tempted to say I liked the pink Jenga GirlTalk edition from Hasbro better. The "girly" colors of pink and fuschia and the questions on each of the blocks pepped up the game nicely. The Jenga Pink GirlTalk game combines the fun of the original Jenga with the girl talk questions that are incorporated into Jenga GirlTalk. As girls remove the blocks from the tower, they must answer or act out the GirlTalk question printed on the Jenga block. You can get questions like "Who is your best friend?" or "Name someone you have a crush on right now." Btw, if you're looking for another great twist on the traditional Jenga game, try the "Truth or Dare" edition which is great for parties or groups of friends.

Jenga GirlTalk is available for approximately $20 at Toys 'R Us.

I thought it was a great game. My kids love to see things fall – so they get a thrill out of trying not to be the one whose last move brings the blocks down.
