Offical Rules as set down by the Meribel convention
Herein lie the rules of extreme jenga as set down in room 703 in Meribel:
· Only one hand should be used at a time.
· All participants must agree to the forfeit beforehand and they must partake in it if they cause the tower to fall.
· No aids are allowed during the game to aid in the removal of bricks. This list of banned items is a long and complete one that includes icicles, clothes hangers and many other items. Any item other that a player wishes to use must undergo a majority vote with all players at the table participating.
· You must take the first block that your hand comes into contact with. This is important. There are no exceptions to this rule so choose carefully.

The History of the Game
JENGA, the original wooden block tower building game, was invented in the early 1970's by Leslie Scott, a British citizen. She had spent some years as a teenager living in Africa, and to name her game she coined the term JENGA. After much prodding from her Oxford University friends, who had played the game with her for years, she began selling the JENGA game in the United Kingdom.
American entrepreneur Robert Grebler discovered the JENGA game and began importing it to North America. Grebler spent so much time demonstrating the JENGA game that he developed substantial expertise, and to the best of our knowledge, currently holds the JENGA game world record of 40 2/3 levels.
Grebler arranged a JENGA tournament in Montreal in February 1985, as a benefit for the Heart Foundation. Response from the public and the media was overwhelming.
The wooden blocks for the JENGA game begin as alder trees. For many years, alder trees were considered weeds and of little value and were cleared for use only as firewood. More recently, it has been discovered that alder could be an important source of hardwood, making it useful as building material for houses, furniture and, of course, JENGA blocks.
The JENGA game now is played and enjoyed by millions of people worldwide, bringing good times, camaraderie, and great entertainment to families and people of all ages. Numerous references to the JENGA game can be found in media articles and features, including the fact that top runners in the Boston Marathon have played the JENGA game to relax before the race; that the JENGA game has long been a favorite of college students; that the JENGA game is utilized as a teaching tool at all levels; that the JENGA game is an effective icebreaker at business meetings and social events; and that the JENGA game has a listing in the famous book, Guinness World Records.

don't forget - no coat hangers! as a sub-section of the no icicles rule. i remember paul trying to sneak that one past as a loophole in the law but backing down in a hail of abuse.

ok point proven XJ, but dont come running to me when they try sabotage our soc events!! great idea with the meribel (jenga) convention - clarifies those contentious issues!!!
-
Conor Kennedy2/21/06
i think an offical rules section should be put up so there is no confusion among members. eg only one hand at a time, you must take the first block you touch and no icicles!!!

Laura Phillips2/21/06
i do contest the invitation of "friends", namely duggan and swainer, to the XJ soc, on the grounds of there constant slander towards the xtreme jenga club and sport - i fell we should 'report them for abuse' as consequence. p.s does nobody remember duggan hiding the jenga from us last wed........now do you think he deserves to be in the club????!!!

Jamie Harte 0 RepliesJust two points
XJ -Soc 0 Replies1. Jenga did have a sex change because it was decided re the poll - if the poll changes then the gender will.
.
2. Jim, in the quiz it was not specified that it was or wasn't full levels.
Also hoping to organize some kind of small tournament soon.
Keep an eye out !!
