Donkey Kong Jenga Attempts to Add Geek Appeal, Fails

Jenga, is a wonderfully stupid game. You pull blocks out of a pile, which you try to build into a tower, which you hope doesn’t come crashing down. It is fun for kids, but hardly a worthy way to spend one’s time. If you throw some Donkey Kong colors on there, it is still the same stupid game, only with a Donkey Kong motif that is designed with the express purpose of separating geeks from their money. The phrase that immediately springs to mind is, “same dog different collar.”
