Fun with Jenga

My brother and I were using Jenga blocks in an unusual way - as dominoes. Here are some pictures:

I also came up with a game involving the Jenga blocks:

Set up the Jenga blocks as shown in the game setup picture. The first person sits in a chair a designated distance away from the blocks. The player must then throw a Jenga block at the set-up Jenga blocks, trying to make as many fall over as possible.

Game setup

When evaluating the score, look at the number of blocks that were knocked down. As you can see in the game setup, the blocks are arranged into groups. If the whole group is knocked down, the player gets the same number of points as the number of blocks that were in the group. If only some blocks are knocked down, the player does not receive any points for that group.

The game in motion
This player would receive 8 points.
