Jenga Goes Portable and Digital

by Terrence O'Brien on January 23, 2009 at 04:01 PM

Jenga Goes Portable, Digital, Defeats Own PurposeAlright people. Look, we're big fans of all things digital and techy... but some things are just better left alone.

We were a bit peeved when Monopoly replaced its multi-colored bills with a debit card, but taking Jenga digital is not only a travesty, but it doesn't even make any sense.

First off, who wants to stare at a tiny LED screen (think those old-school Game & Watch handhelds from Nintendo) and tug at tiny plastic Jenga blocks that control virtual blocks on the screen? Similar to the real thing, tugging blocks too hard will cause the (virtual) tower to collapse.

You know what the worst part is though? Slamming this thing into the ground will never be as satisfying as tossing the rest of a real Jenga tower across the room after you lose. [From: UberGizmo]
