Split Jenga pieces equally and sit in a large circle (on the floor or at a big table). Everyone has one piece that is marked. Then everyone builds a fortress to protect their marked piece (the marked piece must be stood up on its small side).

Everyone gets a projectile. We liked using those thick rubber bands that came on broccoli at the grocery store, but you could use Nerf guns, balled up paper, whatever--as long as it's not too light and not too heavy.

Once everyone is ready, take turns firing at each other's fortresses, trying to knock down their marked pieces. Nobody can touch their fortress at this point.

Last marked piece standing is the winner.

Your game sounds like a lot of fun!

As a kid I mostly played on my own (explained in adulthood with an autism diagnosis), but I did have a friend I would watch clouds with and we made up an ongoing story to go with what we would see. We also made "magic potions" from all of our parents cosmetics lol

At school we had the normal one group takes a high ground, the other is bellow, and everyone is throwing sticks and acorns and other plant matter at each other without any clear goal (to me, anyway), but I would back out of those pretty quickly haha

I did have a group of supposed friends start a d&d game once but even at the point of creating a character, every suggestion I made was mocked, and it was clear they didn't want me there, so I didn't go back which sucks, because I think I would have really enjoyed it (d&d in general, definitely not with them though)..
