- Combinatorics of JENGAPublication . Carvalho, Alda; Neto, João; Santos, CarlosJENGA, a very popular game of physical skill, when played by perfect players, can be seen as a pure combinatorial ruleset. Taking that into account, it is possible to play with more than one tower; a move is made by choosing one of the towers, removing a block from there, that is, a disjunctive sum. JENGA is an impartial combinatorial ruleset, i.e., Left options and Right options are the same for any position and all its followers. In this paper, we illustrate how to determine the Grundy value of a JENGA tower by showing that it may be seen as a bidimensional vector addition game. Also, we propose a class of impartial rulesets, the clock nim games, JENGA being an example of that class.
