    The cards were DAMP!
    How were the cards wet if they were sealed in plastic? Cards were stuck together and I had to rip the cards. Would have given a 1 star but the client enjoyed the game.

      I highly recommend this game for anyone who works with or has children. It is great for learning and discussing emotional regulation skills without being overly therapeutic. It engages the players in conversation which encourages sharing experiences and ideas as well as listening skills along with the normal turn taking and winning aspects of a regular card game. I took off a star because the rules aren’t well written and the creators gameplay leaves a lot to be desired. This game definitely lends itself to house rules.

      As a behavior consultant I thought this would be a great way to work on coping skills. The clients all played it once and then said they don't want to play it again because it's boring. It will probably sit at the bottom of my box of tools.

      When I started reading the instructions, I was worried the game might be a little difficult to sit through (we all have ADHD and/or ASD). Once we started playing, it was actually pretty easy and ends up being a great tool for getting to know each other, our selves, our feelings, etc! We made it through the game, and used the cards again later for prompting (questions), and look forward to playing again!

      2.0 out of 5 stars Might help some but not really suitable for children distressed by confrontation
      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 19, 2024
      Verified Purchase
      After looking through the deck and how the game would be used, it's immediately apparent that this just wouldn't work for any child from whom direct conflict causes distress, which in many cases is that causer of the visible "strong emotions" with which this games seeks to assist.

      CBT can be useful for the right person in the right context.

      This game however is simply too confrontational, more akin to aversion therapy wherein the child is repeatedly forced to face the things that causes distress until, hopefully, they become immune to it.

      Wholly unsuitable for asd/pda and therefore returned to amazon.
