Today’s small buy of the day is one that the whole family can enjoy (yes, we’re feeling generous) for hours and hours on end.
You might have found over the past few weeks that the games in your household have been used more than ever and though we’re all big fans of Monopoly, there’s only so many times we can play it before we get bored.
Which is why we’ve been on the lookout for some new games to pass the time and happened upon an old favourite that turns out differently every time: Jenga.
How will you stack up against the law of gravity?
Stack the wooden blocks in a sturdy tower, then take turns pulling out blocks one by one until the whole stack crashes down.
Is your hand steady enough to pull out the last block before the tower collapses? If it is, you will win and if isn’t, the bricks will come tumbling down.
The rules are simple and straightforward, but playing it isn’t.

And if you were in any doubt that this game is beloved by all ages, then you only need to read the reviews on the shopping site to see the wide array of people wading in to praise it.
“This is a great game to play. It is very addictive. An excellent combative game requiring various skills,” one shopper wrote.
While another commented: “We wanted a game that everyone could play on a family staycation and so bought Jenga. We played it with the children during the day but also found ourselves playing it with a glass of wine once they had gone to bed.”
Go on, treat yourself, it beats playing ‘I Spy’ again.
