Simple, Challenging Game

We're always up for trying family activities - anything to get everyone off electronics. This game certainly doesnt disappoint.I'll admit I was skeptical at first. It looks childish simple at first glance - a deck of cards with simple physical actions and some strike out chips. After our first game (coming in dead last), I came to appreciate the challenge here much more.The cards have varying triggers for when you do the action vs not that varies card to card. Then there are wild cards that over ride certain triggers for a number of cards to mix things up. To make things more tricky - other players may start to do the action without actually doing it which may trip you up even more.The neat part is that it's a totally level playing field. It doesnt matter how strong, smart, or agile a person is - anyone can win if they pay close enough attention and control their urges to follow thought. We've played this half a dozen times now and everyone in our family has won at least once, including our 10 year old.Id certainly reccomend this to add to the family board game pile (that everyone should be trying to drag out at least once a week).

Great party game, even with adults

This is one of those games that work great with either kids or adults (even more fun with drinks). The premise is relatively simple and easy to pick up, and it really does teach impulse control - we started off actioning and eventually started slowing down and thinking more. Even after a few rounds, the cards and actions can still trip you up, especially with the purple cards.Super fun, great party game, fairly priced. Most products I've had from ThinkPsych have been a smash and this is one of them. (Bonus points : I can play this with my toddler too when they're a bit older)

I’m an LPC who has works with littles for many years so games is def a go-to for teaching about emotions, coping skills, etc. This game was so fun and easy to play. The card prints aren’t too wordy, and are easy for kids to understand. Love the token system and that there’s a point to getting the tokens unlike other games where the tokens don’t really matter. Overall, so pleased!

Great family game

My children absolutely love playing this game. The age range says 6+ but my 4 year old loves playing this. We only use the object and scenario cards with the youngest to keep the game simple. This is actually recommended in the instructions and it works so well with him.This has really helped them think outside of the box. They come up with different perspectives that I have been very shocked to see their little brains develop. The ideas they come up with for objects to be used differently, showcases their creativity that sometimes as adult we forgot about. The creativity and problem-solving skills this game helps build is a great start to flexible thinking. I am actually surprised on how difficult it seems to be for the adults compared to our children. It's a game that really levels the playing field between adults and children and its so good to see.We play this game a lot and the kids play it without adults. This is such a fun game to our children prefer it to some of the other traditional board games we have. I highly recommend it.

Such a Cute Game That Encourages Creative Thinking!

Such a cute game! I come from a family that went to Montessori schools, where we learned to use all sorts of everyday household items in fun, imaginative, and creative ways. That approach to thinking has always stuck with me!Now, as a therapist, I love working with patients on creative problem solving, thinking outside the box, and recognizing that there is often more than one way to approach a situation. This game is a wonderful reminder that innovation doesn’t always mean inventing something new. Sometimes it means looking at what you already have and finding a completely different way to use it!I played Rethink This! with my nieces and nephews, and we loved it! It’s a fun way to stretch your imagination, encourage flexible thinking, and get everyone laughing and sharing ideas. I especially appreciate that it makes these important cognitive and social-emotional skills accessible through play rather than making them feel like a lesson.As both a therapist and someone who appreciates creative learning, I think this is a great addition to a family game collection, classroom, or therapy office. It’s entertaining, educational, and encourages a skill that remains valuable long after childhood!

Terrific for my students

I was so excited to find these cards! I am a special education, teacher and this year. I decided to do a space theme for my room. These cards were a great find since they go with my theme. I have a place in my room called the calm down corner and when the students need a break, they can take a card, read it, and do what it says independently so they are not disruptive to the class. I also use these with my whole class for mindfulness time. The cards are divided into different categories so I can decide which I would like to focus on these cards are a lot of fun and they encourage kids to practice mindfulness which is great for their mental health. These are a great help for my students. They are also visually appealing. I am very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend these cards to others.
