Redesigning the Classic block game ‘Jenga’ Trapezoidal jenga tower
• Follows the basic guidelines & rules of the original Jenga, block building construction game. • Main aim was to create a single line tower build up from the original block placement while playing the game. • Designed in such a manner that the blocks will have to be arranged in the same format inorder to get a single line tower. • Involves keeping alternate blocks in sets of 3. in a right & upside down position and the opposite way while building up the tower. • The blocks have to be removed & kept following the same decorum of that while building it up. • Has a greater risk factor because of the change in the form of the blocks, resulting in the whole different construction of the tower itself. • This was the most popular, most bought & most played version of all the other variants. Hence, redesigning completely is based on just changing the whole outlook and its upgradation of the level to make it more risky & fun. Also it upgrades the overall aesthetic value of the tower/ game.
Usage of two tones of the hardwood have to been used to also create a subtle colour difference and making the entire single base tower building a prominent factor. Also, it does create a difference in the friction within the blocks while moving or shifting them doing justice to making it more difficult to play. 3
