Jenga meets Tetris

WIRED discovered an awesome Flash Game: 99 Bricks

Screenshot of 99 Bricks The game is a combination of the well-known computer game Tetris with the popular parlor game Jenga (where you have to stack up as much bricks as possible), spiced up with a physics simulation.

Your task is to build a tower made of Tetris bricks. The thing is that you’re not trying to complete rows, but your going for the tower’s height.
Sound’s easy? It’s not! The higher your tower gets, the more it starts swaying to the left and to the right and suddenly whole parts of your tower may break apart. It takes a few minutes to get used to the game and to grasp that you need to interlock some bricks to make your tower a bit more stable.

Very cool game. Try it out!

very nice game. though jenga is not about stacking up bricks, but removing as many bricks as possible without having the tower collapse.
