Jenga

Jenga is a physical skill game in which players remove wooden blocks from a tower and place them on top. The tower becomes less stable as play continues, and the player who causes it to collapse loses.

Static equilibrium: A condition in which an object remains at rest because the forces and torques acting on it balance. Each move must leave the tower’s weight balanced over its support.
Game rules: Formal instructions that define legal actions, objectives, and outcomes in a game. Jenga’s turn sequence specifies which blocks may be moved and how they are restacked.
Leslie Scott: A British game designer who created Jenga, drawing on a block-stacking game played by her family. Scott devised and named the game that became Jenga.
Fine motor skill: The ability to control small movements using the hands and fingers. Sliding a block out without disturbing neighboring pieces requires precise hand control.
Tumblin' Tower: A block-stacking dexterity game in which players remove and restack pieces from a tower. It shares Jenga’s basic tower challenge but is a separate commercial game.
Center of mass: The point representing the weighted average position of an object's mass. Removing a block shifts the tower’s balance point and can tip it beyond its base.
Wooden block: A solid piece of wood shaped for construction, play, or another practical use. The blocks are the pieces players manipulate to alter the tower.
Oxford Games: A British board-game publisher founded by Leslie Scott and Peter Scott. The company helped bring Jenga to market in the United Kingdom.
Hand–eye coordination: The coordinated use of visual information and hand movement to perform a task. Players visually judge a block and guide their hands through a delicate removal.
Animal Upon Animal: A stacking game in which players balance wooden animal figures on a shared pile. Its irregular pieces create a balancing challenge unlike Jenga’s uniform rectangular blocks.
