- 18 Black "truth" blocks
- 18 Natural blank write-your-own blocks
- Loading tray to assemble tower
Object
Answer tricky questions ... complete outrageous dares ... be surprised by devious dares and truths you and your friends have created ... and be the last player to stack a block without toppling the tower!
Setup
- Empty the blocks onto a flat surface.
- Take it to Another Level! (Optional): Make up your own dares and truths and print them on some of the natural blocks with a soft-leaded pencil. They can be removed easily with an eraser and changed for the next game. (Do not use permanent or felt-tip markers, or ball-point pens.) Hint: The game is more fun if you don't know whether the natural blocks you pull out will be blank or written on!
- Use this loading tray to build up the tower by placing layers of three wooden blocks at right angles to each other. It's up to you how you distribute the different colored blocks:
- Place one block of each color in each layer. Or ...
- Place three blocks of the same color in each layer. Or ...
- Place the blocks randomly throughout the tower.
- Carefully stand loading tray upright, then remove it so the tower stands by itself.
Gameplay
The oldest player goes first. Play passes to the left.
On Your Turn
- Remove one block from anywhere below the highest completed story. Use only one hand!
- It's up to you which block you choose. If you pick a red block, you'll have to complete the dare written on it. If you pick a black block, you'll have to tell the truth to all other players. If you pick a natural block and it's blank, lucky you! You are safe until the next round. If it's not, you may face the most devious dares and truths ... those made up by you and your friends!
- If you decide not to carry out the dare or truth written on the block, you may select another. In this case, you must place the first block on top of the tower and then remove a different-colored block. You must perform the task written on this block.
- Once you've completed the challenge to the satisfaction of the other players, place the block on top of the tower (remember — use one hand only!), at right angles to the blocks immediately below it. Always complete a full three-block story before starting another.
- If the other players aren't convinced that you've completed the dare properly or answered the truth truthfully, you'll have to pick another block and complete a new challenge.
Play continues clockwise, with each player picking a different block and completing a challenge until someone topples the tower.
Winning
If you're the last player to stack a block without toppling the tower, you win!
Dare to Be Different
Some of the dares involve other people in the room (for example, "Rub noses with another player"). If you pick one of these, the other players should choose someone for you to do the dare on. When choosing someone, try not to always involve the same person. Dare to be different!
Re-Storage
You can do either of the following:
- Build a JENGA® tower using this loading tray. Carefully pick up the loading tray and tower and place both inside the box.
- Insert loading tray into the box. Then place blocks back loosely inside the box.
