Use a countersink bit (or a regular drill bit about the size of the screw shank) and drill holes for the screws as shown in the sketch. One set of 9 blocks I left natural wood.Ĭut the 4 pieces of 1×8 to be 19 3/4″ long. I had my helpers paint 9 jumbo jenga blocks in each color. (If you leave them natural wood you won’t have this issue.) You can coat them with a clear coat or wait until the paint has fully cured. So the blocks want to stick to each other. One issue with latex is that it dries in a day, but doesn’t cure for a few weeks. I used latex paint (ultra pure white, the real teal, pimento, paradise sky and cherries jubile). Paint or stain the jumbo jenga blocks if desired. I used a belt sander for this part to make it faster, a regular hand sander will work too. (Sometimes those kids toys can be useful :-) ). I used a miter saw and set up a stop block on the left side so I didn’t have to measure every piece.Ĭut 54 jumbo jenga pieces. 1 – 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ from a 4×4 postĬut the 2×3 boards into 7 1/2″ long pieces, you should be able to get 12 – 7 1/2″ pieces from each 2×3 board.54 – 1 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ jenga block pieces cut from the 2×3 boards.2 – drawer handles – optional for carrying crate.wood glue – optional for carrying crate.26 – 1 1/4″ wood screws – optional for carrying crate.scrap piece of 4″ x 4″ post – optional dice (actually measure 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″).1 – 1″ x 8″ x 10′ board – optional carrying crate (actually measure 3/4″ x 7 1/4″ x 10′).How to Make a DIY Jumbo Jenga Yard Game Materials I also made a carrying crate that doubles as the Jumbo Jenga stand, it has enough room for the 54 jumbo jenga pieces and dice. A ‘2×3’ board that you buy is actually 1.5 inches thick, 2.5 inches wide and we can cut them 7.5 inches long…perfect! The traditional Jenga pieces are 1.5 cm thick, 2.5 cm wide and 7.5 cm long, making the jumbo jenga pieces couldn’t be simpler using 2×3 boards. You can totally play the traditional way too. They will roll and whatever color it lands on, they have to move a block of that color. Each side of the dice (die) is a different color and there is a corresponding set of blocks in each color. The roll ‘n go version puts a fun twist on the game, and I kept it simple for my young kids. I thought it would be fun to make a giant sized version for the yard with a ‘throw ‘n go’ option (I’m calling it Roll ‘n Go). Cheese locations.Hi, I’m Amy and I love to build things and share plans at Hertoolbelt! My kids love to play the traditional Jenga. Rather, it was those coin pushing games you see at bowling alley arcades and Chuck E. The closest comparisons we could think of to this “disc pushing” gameplay wasn’t even a board game. If it’s a player’s beetle piece, they get knocked out, and their opponent wins! But more likely, they’ll just push out a couple of regular pieces, which get added to that player’s supply for future turns. This typically causes one or more pieces to be bumped out of the arena. They do that by pushing pieces (in small, medium, or large varieties) into a crowded board of discs and beetles. In a match of Kabuto Sumo, players attempt to shove their opponent’s wrestling piece out of the arena, either on their own or as a team of two. The game is exciting and unpredictable in just the way you’d want a wrestling match to be, and we had a fantastic time playing it with our special guest Petrana Radulovic on our latest episode of Overboard. At its simplest, this beetle sumo wrestling game is all about shoving pieces out of an arena, but those appearances can be deceiving. It’s not often you encounter a board game that’s hard to compare to anything else you’ve played.
