Customers say kids/teens (and many clients) enjoy this Clue-like game and that it’s a fun, engaging way to start conversations and open up about anger. The scenario/question cards are often described as straightforward, helpful, and relevant, and the multiple play versions/lengths are appreciated. Some found it initially overwhelming or redundant, and a few felt it’s too easy to avoid question spaces or that questions can feel too direct for some kids.
Thanks for your feedback! We’re glad you’ve found the anger management tips on the cards to be useful. The number of question (bomb) spots was carefully tuned to keep gameplay brisk and exciting while still offering ample opportunity to discuss anger control throughout the course of the game. There is an incentive built into the gameplay to encourage clients to land on more question spaces (the person gets to go again). Both of these options should give insight into the player and their willingness to talk and strategize.
In the manual are some variations in game play, including variations for more question cards to be played in a game. Please be sure and check out the tips and alternative game suggestions included in the instructions.
