Donkey Kong Jenga!

Wish list: Galaga, Pacman, Pooyan, Star Wars cockpit, Gauntlet, Tron

And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

Sounds cool.  And only $24.95 on Amazon!

But I'm wondering how you would put the blocks on top after taking them off with the Donkey Kong figure in the way?

I think you just take the blocks out.  That is how the old jenga worked?  Unless you where playing some modified beer drinking jenga?

ummm come to think of it.  Sounds like fun

You take a block from the bottom and you put it on top, you take a block from the middle and you just don't stop; Simple rules for a simple game, but Jenga looks to give its classic gameplay a twist with a new Donkey Kong licensed edition.
Sure, you'll still be able to play the game in the way it's always been played -- follow instructions above, until it all comes down -- or with the new Donkey Kong-style rules.

In the update, each player will control a small Mario playing piece, trying to move up the tower in order to save Pauline from Kong. No rolling barrels, but you'll use a spinner to find out how many spaces to move, and when to remove blocks.

Donkey Kong Jenga is slated for a Sept. 24 release.

It's played like real Donkey Kong :P
I want it...

I guess I been playing it wrong all these years.  Maybe it was the beer goggles. :cheers:

what do I know.  An ex Girl friend taught me how to play.  I mean if she was dumb enough to date me then I guess she was dumb enough not to read the directions correctly.

oh well still looks fun.  Just a lot harder now.

I thought you just take the blocks out.  The one with the most blocks in hand before it tips over wins.  Basicly leaving the person that knocked it over a loser of the game.

This is what I was told back in the day. 

I actually was just playing the real donkey kong (well the mame version)

and scored a 76200 but I think i should post that on another thread.
