Jenga is by far one of my favorite games. It's super simple. You can play it with people of all ages. You don't have to concentrate super hard (unless you're attempting to pull a very tight block from the stack). When you get tired of actually playing the game you can just start building other random "houses" or creations out of the blocks. For all of this, we have Leslie Scott to thank. Leslie was the inventor of this game and the great lady that decided to share it with the rest of us. (Milton Bradley published the game in 1987.) Want to hear another cool fact behind the game? Well, Leslie Scott grew up in Africa and spoke Swahili. The word "Jenga" means "to build" in Swahili. Pretty sweet, eh? I thought so. (Thanks Google.)
Zach, Sarah, and I all played Jenga while at Dunn Bros. one evening and had a grand time. (I went to CBC with Zach's brother, Alex. Sarah went to CBC with Zach's sister, Sarah. Zach goes to BSU.....small world.) 
Guess who?
