A spin-off of the popular Jenga dexterity game, Jenga BOOM's gameplay remains largely the same as its forebear, with one big twist: the tower of wooden blocks rests upon a plastic "bomb" platform. Before the game starts, players pull a string on the side to start the ticking timer. Each turn, a player must press the "play" button to restart the timer and then a "stop" button once he's finished his turn. When the timer runs out, the platform drops, leveling the tower, and the player whose turn it is loses.
Red Seven is an interesting mix between Scrabble and Bridge: tiles show a letter (with its value, as in Scrabble) and the symbol of a poker card suit. As in Bridge, we find two partnerships against each other: in the auction, the partners should propose a contract, i.e. a suit and a number of "tricks" they plan to take. The "trick", in effect, is made by confrontation between the value of the word you place on the board (as in Scrabble) and the one of the previous player: so, any word is considered in 2 "tricks" (the one with the previous and the one with the following player). The suit proposed by the winner of the auction is the "trump" for the round: once played, the tiles with this suit on will receive a bonus in points.
The game is played in 3 rounds: any player receive a random set of tiles per round. At the end of any round, the teams score victory points according to the contract made at the beginning of the round.
