Board game: Jenga
Board game nights are more than just a pastime—they create lasting traditions, bringing families and friends together for laughter and quality time. Across cultures, board games play a key role in holiday gatherings, making them more lively.
If you're attending a friend's Eid celebration, bringing a game like Jenga can be a fantastic icebreaker.
Jenga is a timeless classic that blends strategy, skill, and luck. The goal is simple: carefully remove a wooden block from the stacked tower and place it on top without making it collapse. With each turn, the suspense builds, making the game more thrilling.
Comprising 54 wooden blocks arranged in alternating layers, Jenga's minimalist design makes it accessible to all ages. The unpredictability of whether the tower will stand or fall keeps players engaged, creating shared laughter and friendly competition.
More than just a game, Jenga turns any gathering into a memorable experience, strengthening bonds and ensuring an evening of pure fun.
