A classic dexterity game, and a mass-market game on top of everything else, Jenga is actually still a lot of fun. At the beginning players make a gigantic tower by stack little wooden planks, then take turns trying to remove one plank at a time and adding it to the top, thereby increasing the overall 'tippiness' of the tower as well as its height. When the tower falls (because of a poorly puleed or a poorly placed plank) the player at fault loses.

Lots of fun as a quick 2-player dexterity game, kind of a back-to-the-basics game, but if you're in a bind and can't find a German game, stuck in WalMart and needing a gift at the last minute, Jenga ain't half bad.
