As players make their way through a maze of roads on the colorful game board, they face a series of questions: Should I take the short but hazardous route, or the safe but longer route?

Ideal for children with ADD or ADHD, The Impulse Control Game can be played by 2 to 6 players or teams.

Therapists say the game is fun and useful for sessions, with strong prompts that spark discussion, affirmations, and practice with consequences, problem-solving, and coping skills. Some found it too hard for younger kids in the stated age range (but can be reworded). One reviewer reported missing pieces on arrival and felt the cardstock “cars” seemed cheap; another expected a more exciting game.
