Mad Dragon - An Anger Control Card Game

This game was recommended by a child therapist I work with. Kids love it. Use professionally and personally. Easy to use and has question that are easy for children to understand. I’ve use with children age 6-16. Cards are a little thicker than typical card deck. Can play with or with out question.

I’m a therapist and use this game frequently in my office. What I love compared to the regular UNO “feelings” game is that it also has prompts/questions for kids to answer that also make them reflect on their behaviors or what worked for them / how they handled things that made them angry before. The kids love it and they like to get competitive so they don’t even realize they’re learning coping skills and all! It’s fun. The cards are bigger than UNO cards but that doesn’t bother me! The cards are thick and durable so they don’t sit and bend them when they’re anxious. Worth it for a therapist office!

I use with my students in my classroom. Students love to play this game. I love it because we get to talk about ways to manage and control anger as well as practicing reading.

I work with different clients who are children. Sometimes I work with them on emotional management. These cards are great although, most of the cards focus primarily on anger. Some of the cards will ask about coping skills so that is a positive, and what a kid can do to calm down. To understand how to play this game, it basically functions like regular Uno where you are matching colors and numbers. The only difference to this is that there are different scenarios on the cards.

Great therapy Game

I use this with kids for anger management and they all love the game. It’s very similar to UNO so easy to understand and transition to. The kids get to learn different coping tools and explore what anger looks and feels like, and while I do have some kids that don’t want to engage in the reading aspect, we usually can work around this with practicing the coping tool instead. Really recommend to have in the therapeutic toolkit!

The cards are way too huge! All of the cards were stuck together when I opened the box, so I had to peel them apart individually. They are glossy coated and impossible to shuffle because they don't slide nicely like normal playing cards. Some of the cards were cut wrong so some images were slightly cut off on some of the edges. They are thick and sturdy though. The game play is good and has been helpful in discussing anger with our kids.

A great therapy game for kids!
