## Description
You know that game that starts with everyone feeling confident and ends with a collective scream when everything crashes down? That's Jenga. The concept is simple, but the tension is real: you have 54 wooden blocks forming an 18-story tower. On each turn, a player must remove a single block from any level (except the top!) and carefully place it on top of the structure. Sounds easy, right? The catch is that as the game progresses, the tower gets taller, more unstable, and increasingly precarious.

The game tests your precision and nerves of steel. You're allowed to gently tap blocks to find a loose one, but be careful: if you shift a block and decide not to remove it because you realize the tower will collapse, it stays where it is, making the challenge even harder for the next player. The golden rule is to use only one hand at a time; no holding the tower with your other hand to give it a clandestine 'stabilization'!

The game ends the moment gravity wins and the tower collapses. The person who caused the fall is the loser, and the person who moved just before them is crowned the winner. The name 'Jenga' comes from Swahili and means 'to build', which perfectly summarizes the experience: you are building the very trap of your own defeat. It's the perfect game for parties, family gatherings, or any situation where you want to see your friends breaking a sweat while trying not to knock everything over. No complex rules, no massive manuals, just you, the wood, and the absolute tension of every single move.

## FAQ
