Jenga's price is falling down! Grab the bestselling block game for $8 — that's 50% off

What is it about things falling down — and the tense effort to stop them from falling down — that's so darn fun? Jenga has posed this question for ages, and it's such a simple premise that anyone can get behind it. If you haven't Jenga-ed before, it's easy: Just pull a block from the structure and cross your fingers that it stays upright. First one to topple the tower loses! This beloved family game is now available for just $8, a full 50% off its normal price. This is a sign to consider it for a gift this holiday season — that and the fact that it's currently a No. 1 bestseller and the No. 1 Most Gifted among games of its type!

Pull the blocks out without bringing the whole tower down. First one to make it fall loses!

Why is this a good deal?

Family game night is always fun, but it's not always fun for your wallet. Board games can be pretty pricey, so it's nice to see one on sale — especially a classic title like this — for 50% off. It's incredibly affordable and the perfect stocking stuffer.

Why do I need this?

Sure, playing video games and watching movies with the fam can be bonding experiences, but there's just something about a precarious pile of wooden blocks that really brings people together. Jenga is a ton of fun to play, and so many movies and shows reference the game that you owe it to yourself to have a Jenga set. Kids can even use the pieces as building blocks when a game isn't in progress.

Part of the appeal of Jenga is that it's such a simple game to play, but you can also get creative and build other shaped structures, and there are ways to play the same game with added difficulty. There are 54 blocks included in the box, and the standard tower stands roughly 12 inches tall.

What reviewers say

More than 81,700 Amazon shoppers have given Jenga a perfect five-star rating!

"Must-have family fun!" raved a fan. "Great family game. Family was crying from laughter from how silly and competitive they got playing this game. Even our cat tried his paw at it! :)"

You can even customize a set with added twists: "One of our favorite games! We’re planning to write fun questions or silly things to do to make it more fun!"

Or play with them solo, like this five-star fan's child does: "I even let my daughter play with them as mini blocks she loves them even more than I do. Great for game night and a picnic date too. Love it."

The fact that it's small is a draw too: "Got it for our camper and it’s the perfect size to play on any table."

This five-star fan said it's "great" ... until it's over: "Game is exactly as shown. Blocks are well-cut and smooth. My toddler tried to play with us a few times and turned it into a demolition game, so I wouldn’t advise for two-to-three-year-olds. Only downside is that the box it came in is very difficult to put the blocks back into once done. I’m going to have to find another way to store it."

Eight bucks for a gift that will have them cry-laughing? Yes, please!
