Jenga Quake is a board game released in 2013 for 1–99 players, 10 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by Jeremy Posner and its main mechanics are Single Loser Game.
The classic block-stacking, stack-crashing game of Jenga has a brand new twist! How will you stack up against the law of gravity and the danger of the Jenga fault zone? When you stack the wooden blocks in a tower, you’ll take turns pulling out blocks one by one like always. But the tower vibrates randomly as you play, and you never know when the big one’s going to hit! Is your hand steady enough to pull out the last block before the tower collapses? Will you do it before the big quake takes the whole stack down? That’s the only way you can win at Jenga!
Jenga Quake supports 1–99 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Jenga Quake is 10 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Jenga Quake for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Jenga Quake has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
