Picking the Jenga block is part of the fun

A Jenga tower looks like a useful place to start at a Japanese–English meetup. Once the rules are clear, there are no cards to read between turns. Everyone can watch the same little wobble. Choosing a block is the bit I'd want to keep for myself. Three people pointing at the safest one would take some of the fun out of it. A hint when someone asks is welcome; a running commentary on every move sounds tiring.
