## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is  the  difference between  this  game and  mad dragon?**
A: Both games use prompts to get kids to answer questions about their feelings. Both use Tarot size cards and bright illustrations. 

The few significant differences are that Don't Go Bananas focuses on 5 emotions (anger, sadness, jealousy, worry, fear) and Mad Dragon is focused solely on anger.

Don't Go Banana's questions are based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy's ABCD model whereas Mad Dragon doesn't use a psychological method for their prompts (as far as I know). 

Lastly the gameplay varies in that Mad Dragon is  based on Crazy Eights/Uno and Don't Go Bananas has its own original game mechanics of stacking 1, 2, 3 cards.

**Q: Do you draw a new card every time you play a card?**
A: You draw a new card every turn. So you can either draw a card at the beginning of your turn or the end - as long as you're consistent with whichever method you chose. You want to keep 5 cards in your hand for the whole game - because the goal is to complete your piles - not get rid of all your cards.

Creator of Don't Go Bananas

**Q: Is this item and the suggested 2 items to order it with appropriate for preschoolers?**
A: I can't speak to other companies products (and because Amazon changes the suggestions regularly), but Don't Go Bananas is rated for ages 6-12, so it would not be appropriate for the majority of pre-school age kids.

Creator, Don't Go Bananas.

**Q: What Console Does This Work With?**
A: The game is actually a card game and is not a video game applicable to a console.

Great tool for my social work office. Best for kindergartners and first graders!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great game
*by M***B on May 28, 2021*

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.
