Name: Jenga
Year of Release: 1983
Rules: First a tower is built in layers made of 3 block put side by side, rotating the direction the blocks face each layer.
The players must pull out one of the blocks on their turn from the tower. The piece taken must be placed on the top of the tower in a similar fashion to how they are placed at the beginning. The player that makes the tower fall loses.
Defining Features:
This game was unique at the time as it was about balance in a 3D space. Players must be cunning and try to lure the other players into a trap where the tower will collapse on their turn, allowing the craftiest player to win. A good understadning of balance also helps.
