A fun evening at our clubhouse

Because of the risk of covid, and against my better judgement, we went up to the clubhouse last night. Every Friday, those who want to gather there for nibbles and drinks. Some organise fish and chips or pizzas to have as their dinner.
There was a nice group there and towards the end of the evening, they brought out Jenga. This game has other names depending on the manufacturer and comes in different sizes. Our own set fits in a tin.
As you can see in the photo, this set was made of quite large blocks. Often, it’s played with two people but last night groups of four took it in turns to remove a block and place it on the top of the tower. Whoever places the last block that causes the tower to topple over loses. It’s a lot of fun. As you can see, I could barely reach to place the last block in place. I’ll add a photo of it falling down in the first of the responses.

I love playing that game. I've "lost" a few times. I remember there was a game I played where I could no longer reach the top of the stack.

We nearly needed a stool for this one but it fell down just after this photo was taken.

My Mum loved it even at 100. We'd find a loose one and push it a little way out then she'd very carefully take it the rest of the way.

@RebeccasFarm Thanks. I've started doing 10 minutes a day exercise following some guy on YouTube. I know my legs are getting weaker.

I was really surprised that we managed to get it up so high.

Probably not much - just a bigger version maybe. I have a small set but this one would take up too much room.
