Great product!
This is a great game to get children engaged in conversation about feelings and their response to feelings. It’s competitive enough to keep them engaged while not being too intense to focus on processing feelings. Highly recommend!

Great support
Great game to help students with regulation.

Great 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.

Great therapy tool
I am a MFT intern. I played the game with my nine year old at home to get familiar with it and he loved it. I work with a lot of kids and cannot wait to use them with them as well.

Good introduction to CBT in game play
I’ve used this a handful of times with children and young teens in therapy. The game rules are a bit vague and the functionality of the game isn’t great. The questions are repetitive. But it’s a good intro to CBT through game play.

Love this game
Fun way to get kids talking. Kids love the game part and fun pictures, which takes pressure off of counseling

Easy & Works
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!

Great tool for little ones to recognize their emotions
For my kids, age 6 and 8, their responses are pretty basic but it gives my husband and I an opportunity to explain emotions more in depth to them. We have played a few times and already our kids are starting to recognize in themselves and in each other when their emotions get big and they remind each other to “not go bananas”. I think it’s a pretty good start to changing their initial reactions to cry or yell when they are upset and I look forward to seeing more growth in them as we continue to play.With this age group, we are only able to play about 10-15 minutes at a time so we leave the cards out on the table and revisit the game throughout the week.

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.
