Jenga Drinking Game

Jenga Drinking Game or Drunk Jenga is a spin on the classic children’s board game.

You would have played plenty of board games that are just plain boring, haven’t you?

So, why not add a twist to your simple games with some extra spike?

And by spike, we actually mean spike!

No, we’re not talking about beer pong and slap cup. 

This is a game that will really test how well you can handle your booze. If your hands are shaking, you’ll be out before you know it.

The game is called Jenga, but since you’re playing it after so many beers, it’s now called Drunk Jenga. Perhaps if you want some fun with names, you can also call it Tipsy Tower or the Jenga Drinking Game. 

By now you might be wondering what do I need to know about this game and how can I play it, right?

Well, here’s everything you need to know about the Jenga drinking game:

Players You Need 

You need up to 6 players of legal drinking age to join you in on the game. 

A minimum of 2 players is necessary, but the more the merrier. 

Gear You Require To Play Jenga Drinking Game

Players are not all you need to play the game. 

You also need some supplies to set up the game. 

In this case, the supplies seem apparent. You will need:

1. Jenga Blocks, because how else would anything topple.
2. A marker, we will get to this in a second.
3. Beer, because why would it be called Drunk Jenga otherwise?

Setup for Jenga Drinking Game

Now, we can get to the organization of the gear that you have; the mystery of the marker unfurls here.

Use the marker to write on the Jenga blocks. You will be writing different rules and dares on each of the blocks. It might take some time to develop exciting rules and ideas to put on the blocks.

Once you have written on each block, you can begin stacking the blocks like in regular Jenga. Keep the rules on the inside and stack three by three blocks until all blocks are stacked. 

Here are some examples of some hilarious rules and dares:

• Make a wedding toast for the person sitting next to you.
• Slap the person on your right.
• People on the left of the person pulling the piece take a drink, and those on the right take two.
• Karaoke for the person pulling the piece. 
• Staring contest with the person on your left. The person that loses drinks. 
• The person on your left makes you a drink, and you can’t say no.
• Call your ex. If they pick up, you drink. 
• If you’re single, you drink.

The game is as fun as your imagination is. So, take your time and ask everyone to pitch in ideas and their own rules. 

The Gameplay 

Once you have set up the game, you can get to playing. 

Here is how the game proceeds: 

1. Start from the player on the left and move clockwise until each player gets their turn.
2. Pull out each block and stack it at the very top.
3. After pulling each block, read the rule and complete what it says. Remember that the rules are not visible, so it will be fun discovering what comes out.
4. The game continues until the tower topples over. 
5. The player that breaks the tower has to finish his/her drink in one go. 
6. Reassemble the tower and take another shot at the game. 
7. Play until you’re tired and then some more.

Drink Responsibly

While the game is really fun to play, you must remember that drinking responsibly is essential. 

That being said, do play Jenga whenever you get the chance to – you’ll be thanking yourself later.
