Toys and Games Reviews of Parker Brothers Jenga Max
Customer Review: Poorly Executed.
Summary: 1 Stars
The Good:
- It is an interesting concept in that you get to build potentially different designs
- Magnets are involved (it acts as the 'adhesive' that drops all the pieces when under too much weight posturing on any given side), those are always entertaining to the children
- The pieces are colorful
- The base is fairly well-made despite being a simple plastic construction
The Bad:
- The pieces that attach to each other to develop the designs do not connect poorly, in that the connectors are too wide. More often than not you will find that the pieces will fall apart just after a few turns.
- Due to the poor connectors on the pieces, if there is any length whatsoever (i.e. 3 linkages or more), the line will be highly susceptible to swaying, and oftentimes it will sway onto a piece of the base structure and rest upon, which is against the game's rules.
- Generally speaking, it fails to hold the attention of the young, and frustrates the old as the pieces keep falling off due to the poor plastic connector build rather than the 'fun way' of having the magnet dropping.
The Ugly:
- This game is a shining example of poor execution of a concept that may have otherwise resulted in a great family game.
- This has been one of the poorest games made by Parker Brothers, hands down. It is not a functioning game by any standard, and as such should not even be released in its current form.
- I personally could not recommend this game to any other individual, not even as a giveaway.
Description of Parker Brothers Jenga Max
Build it big, wide or tall but don't let it fall! This might just be the most nail-biting Jenga game you've ever played. The challenge is to hook or hang the blocks onto each other without upsetting the balance and maxing it out. Hang 'em straight up, straight out, or over the top, but don't hang one in the wrong spot, or it'll all fall down! Be the last player to successfully hang a block and you win the game!Games Toys
