Drinking Rules for Jenga: Wobbly Blocks, Wobbly Fingers

Drinking games are one of the most popular things you can do at parties. And Jenga is one of the most popular board games in history – it’s sold in more than 110 countries!

So, why not combine Jenga and booze next time you’re having some friends over?

Let’s go through the top drinking rules for Jenga.

Gather Your Materials

To start, make sure you have all the materials you need for playing alcoholic board games. Of course, you’ll need your tower of blocks. If you don’t already have a Jenga set, you can find them at most toy stores or online retailers.

You’ll also need at least a few pens or markers. Ideally, you should look for permanent options that won’t rub off.

Make sure you have plenty of your drink of choice on hand. If you want to play drinking Jenga at your next party, you might want to try something new. Check out this passionfruit bay breeze recipe for one great option.

But, take everyone’s needs into consideration. Have non-alcoholic options available for those who prefer not to drink or for anyone taking a break from alcohol.

Start The Game

Once you have everything you need, it’s time to start the game. The Jenga set is arranged in the standard tower formation, and each block is assigned a drinking rule written on it using a pen or marker.

These rules dictate the actions players must perform when they pull out a particular block during the game. These could be basic things like finishing your drink or doing a shot.

Or, you can get more elaborate with your Jenga drinking game rules. You might have your players answer personal questions or complete physical tasks. It all depends on what you’re looking to achieve with your drinking game. 

Make It Your Own

One of the most enjoyable aspects of drinking Jenga is the opportunity to create your own unique rules.

Players can get creative and come up with fun and quirky challenges that suit the party’s vibe and the participants’ personalities. The game fosters a lively atmosphere, encourages laughter, and helps break the ice among friends or new acquaintances.

Truth or dare is one common variation when you’re combining Jenga and alcohol. Players select a block and must either answer a truth question honestly or perform the dare written on the block. If they refuse, they take a drink as a penalty.

You can even play Jenga in teams. Each team takes turns pulling out blocks and performing the associated drinking rules. If a team knocks over the tower, the opposing team chooses a drinking challenge for them.
