Block Rockin' Guns

The Jenga Pistol Gives Players an Unfair Edge

— November 24, 2010 — Life-Stages
I know I'd find myself obsessed with playing a game of Jenga after seeing the awesome Jenga Pistol. The Jenga Pistol was built by Matthias Wandel as a foolproof tool to remove any block in a game of Jenga.

The Jenga Pistol fires a pointed block which will send any Jenga brick flying clear across the room. The best part about the Jenga Pistol is that you can even build your own for only six dollars. Tragic Jenga losses will be a thing of the past after you've constructed your own Jenga Pistol. Check out the pistol in action in the featured video.
