Jenga is a strategy game requiring skill and manual dexterity. The objective of the game is remove blocks from the center of the Jenga tower and placing them back on top without the towers collapsing.

One creative soul put his woodworking skills to use and created a geeky solution to this game. Rather then manually pulling out the blocks one at a time, he’d shoot them out with a wooden gun. Hence the Jenga Pistol was born.

This rubber band powered gun fires wooden captive bolts at the tower shooting out the block that is directly in front of the bolt. The transfer of momentum from bolt to block is similar to croquet balls that are hit with the mallet.
