Dead, not Dread: Rest in Pieces is a ridiculous deadbeat RPG on Kickstarter

October 2, 2020 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The original roleplaying game that used Jenga blocks as a mechanic is the infamous 2006 Dread. Your character dies if you knock the tower over and to take action; you must take a brick. Rest in Pieces, now on Kickstarter, has an altogether different vibe more like The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, The […]

Donkey Kong + Jenga = Donkey Kong Jenga

December 8, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I don’t think Vat19 always hit the nail on the head but they’ve certainly done it with Donkey Kong Jenga. Such a simple idea and so ace. You know Jenga – try and remove blocks from a tower, without being the one who sends the whole thing crashing down. You know Donkey Kong – avoid […]
