Jenga Pistol

By Alex in Toy & Video Games on Mar 16, 2009 at 2:37 am


What’s more fun than playing Jenga? Why, playing Jenga with a Jenga Pistol, of course!

Here’s Matthias Wandel showing us his invention, a wooden pistol powered by a rubber band:

The game of Jenga was possibly designed to be a more contemplative and strategic game. But sliding those blocks out carefully without knocking over the stack is just entirely too fiddly a task to perform. I figured it would be much more fun to just be able to shoot the blocks out with some sort of pistol. [...] It takes … about one twentieth of a second, from the point that the trigger is released to the Jenga block clearing the stack.

    He needs to make them and sell them with a Jenga set. I would buy it.

    That is a lot more awesome than I expected it to be!

    Sticking needles in my eyes, for one thing.
