Groveball is a team sport where two teams of six players pass the ball down a rectangular court called a grove and attempt to topple a clump of wooden blocks. The blocks share the same design as Jenga blocks, and a clump is essentially the same as a stack of Jenga blocks. The game is comprised of two 30-minute halves for a total of 60 minutes of play. The team with the most topples wins.
