Cup and card tower

Build a tower of cups with playing cards as floors, then take turns pulling cards out without bringing it down. Jenga with office supplies.

Players
2–6
Time
10–15 min

What you need

  • 20–30 paper cups
  • A deck of cards or stiff index cards

How to play

  1. Build a tower: a row of cups, a layer of cards across them, more cups on top, as high as you dare.
  2. Take turns removing one card and placing it on the top of the tower.
  3. You may only use one hand.
  4. Whoever makes the tower fall loses the round and builds the next one.

Office tip: Business cards work as floors too, and finally get used.
