LEGO Jenga Tower - A Classic Game Reimagined in Bricks!
Description
Ever wanted to combine the strategic fun of Jenga with the creative magic of LEGO? Well, here it is! My latest MOC is a fully functional LEGO Jenga Tower that lets you stack, slide, and (inevitably) crash in an epic battle of balance and precision! And for those who love a pop of color, I’ve also built a vibrant, colorful edition to bring even more excitement to the game!
Keeping It Real - The LEGO Jenga Math!
To ensure an authentic Jenga experience, I aimed to match the proportions of a real Jenga block as closely as possible using LEGO bricks. After some mathematical wizardry (and a few test crashes), I settled on the perfect block size:
LEGO Jenga Block Dimensions:
- 2 studs wide x 6 studs long x 3 plates high
- 🔢 Converted to mm: 62.6 x 23.6 x 12.8 mm
🔬 How does it compare to a real Jenga block?
| Measurement | LEGO (mm) | Ratio | Jenga (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Length | 62.6 | 1.200 | 75 |
| Width | 23.6 | 1.059 | 25 |
| Height | 12.8 | 1.172 | 15 |
🎯 While there are minor differences, the balance, stacking, and gameplay feel just right!
More Than a Build - It’s a Game!
This isn’t just a display piece—it’s an actual game! I’ve included a set of rules so you can challenge friends and family to test their steady hands and tactical thinking. The best part? You can customize the game with color variations, making it even more engaging!
Color Jenga - The LEGO Edition 🎲🌈
For an added challenge, you can play in Color Game Mode, where a six-sided die determines which color block you must pull!
🏗️ Setup:
✅ Build the tower with 18 layers (54 bricks), placing three bricks per layer in alternating directions.
✅ Use six colors: Yellow, White, Black, Red, Dark Bluish Gray, and Light Bluish Gray.
✅ Each layer should contain three different colors for balance.
🎮 How to Play:
🎲 Roll the six-sided die to determine which color block you must remove.
🤚 You may only use one hand to remove and place bricks.
🔄 If the rolled color isn’t available, you choose another one.
🏗️ The removed brick must be placed on top of the tower before the next player’s turn.
💥 The game ends when the tower collapses, and the last player to place a brick before the fall wins!
