I absolutely love your games, and this one is no exception! It really helps unpack situations that usually go unsaid. My kid has become much less black-and-white in their thinking and is learning to see things from different perspectives. That's so crucial these days.

★★★★★
I love that this game teaches kids to question things—to double-check instead of blindly believing what they hear. The cards about social media manipulation are especially spot-on right now. Huge thanks to the developers!

★★★★★
This game really helps kids find their voice. 🗣️ She’s learning to say "no" when the only argument is "everyone else is doing it." I couldn't be happier with the results!
💚 Your child is growing up in a world where everyone is giving advice, teaching, and persuading. Bloggers, ads, friends, and trends—they all tell them what to think and how to live.
💚 But a child’s brain is still learning to tell facts from opinions, so the phrase "everyone else is doing it" often feels like the best argument.
💚 "72 Mental Traps" helps your child learn to ask the right questions, dig deeper, and trust their own voice through all the outside noise.

3 Steps to a Great Game
HOW TO PLAY "72 MENTAL TRAPS"
Get ready for some amazing moments together
1. Open the box and draw a card
One side has an illustration, the other has questions. Discuss: "What's happening here?", "Who is right?", "What would you do?"
2. Discuss, don't test
There are no "right" answers here. Listen to your child's thoughts and help them spot the difference between a fact and an assumption.
3. Flip the card
Read the short explanation together to reveal the logical fallacy or mental trap. The key is not to rush, but to spark curiosity.

Perfect for picnics! We love taking "72 Mental Traps" outside. The scenarios spark such natural conversations between my kids, and it’s incredible to watch them question things on their own. Great way to combine fresh air and critical thinking.
The absolute purest excitement! My girls were thrilled to get their hands on this game. They immediately took it into their playhouse. It’s amazing to see them so genuinely enthusiastic about something that helps them think critically.
We took this game on a road trip with us. 🚗 It literally saved our ride! Instead of being glued to cartoons, my kid was discussing the cards with us the whole time. Time flew by, and we learned so much about what she actually thinks about school and her friends. A total gem! 😍
These cards are brilliantly relatable! The situations cover everything from school to friendships. We only have time for a couple of cards a day, but that’s enough to get the gears turning. My kids actually ask to play it.
The game is fantastic. We love that the rounds are only 15 minutes, making it so easy to squeeze a thoughtful discussion into our busy schedule. Our 7-year-old is obsessed.
It’s become a beautiful ritual for us after dinner. It moves us past surface-level talk and helps us really connect about important life lessons in a low-pressure way. A true conversation starter.
I bought this for my classroom (I'm an elementary school teacher). We use it during our morning meetings. The kids debate, look for arguments, and learn to actually listen to each other. Amazing results!
I really loved the section on stereotypes and manipulation. In today's world, not believing everything you hear is the most important skill there is. Huge respect to the creators!
I was looking for something for my 11-year-old, because this is such a tough age and peer influence is huge. This game became a bridge to real conversations without arguing. We already have another conversation card game from this brand for tweens, and it's great too. Now we go through the scenarios on the cards, and I can literally see her start analyzing things. Thank you!
Such a deep game. It teaches kids not to be afraid of having their own opinion, even when it's different from what everyone else thinks. That's exactly what I was missing as a kid.
Very happy with this purchase. The game helps build a trusting relationship with your child through calm, honest conversations. I recommend it to every parent!
This game made me realize how often I was pushing my own biases onto my child! It's not just a game for kids, it's for parents too. It teaches you to really hear your child instead of pulling rank.
We play as a whole family: my husband and I and our two kids (6 and 9). The cards about family and friends work great for the younger one, and the older one loves the ones about trends and social media. There's something for everyone.
The best investment in my child's thinking skills! My daughter doesn't fall for toy commercials on TV nearly as much anymore, because now she asks, "Mom, is that a fact, or do they just want me to buy it?" That's a total win! 🎉
Really cool tabletop game. My son is 7, and some topics need a bit more explaining, but overall he gets it really well. The illustrations are great and the situations feel real.
We bought it for our 8-year-old daughter. We play for 10–15 minutes before bed. I love that there's no "right or wrong" format, just space to think. My daughter is learning to reflect on her own actions.
My son (9) started out just looking at the pictures, then got so into the discussion that he put his tablet away for the whole evening! For us, that says it all.
As a professional, I sincerely recommend this game! It covers the most common cognitive distortions but explains them in the simplest possible words, with examples kids can relate to (school, friends, ads). 72 cards is a huge amount of material to work with.
This game exceeded all my expectations! The cards about social media and trends hit the nail on the head. My son is 10, and his answer to everything used to be "But everyone does it on TikTok!" After a few rounds, he started catching himself doing it. I'm so grateful for the parent guide, too. It shows you how to ask the right questions instead of lecturing.
The concept itself is a 5/5, but we missed having traditional game elements like tokens or points. It feels more like a set of discussion prompts than a traditional board game. That said, as a tool for connecting with your kid, it works really well.
Great quality, lovely illustrations. The prompts are interesting, but my kid gets tired of deep discussions pretty quickly, so we only do 2 or 3 at a time. Probably not ideal for super restless kids.
Good, high-quality game. However, for my 6-year-old, some of the bias concepts are still a bit too advanced. I have to explain a lot in my own words. It’s probably better suited for 8- or 9-year-olds who have a bit more school experience under their belt.
As a mom of a school-aged kid, we recently picked up 72 Biases. Case in point: my son came home from school and said, "I'm not going to be friends with the new kid because he's weird." Turns out—pure bias. The game helped us talk through how "weird" is just a judgment call, not a fact. Excellent card quality, convenient stand—it sits on our kitchen counter as a daily reminder to "think, don't just blindly believe."
The parent guide is an absolute treasure trove of wisdom. 💎 It even helped me stop pulling the "because I said so" routine. The game fosters much more honest communication with your child. I recommend it to every parent!
This game really brought us closer together. We've started talking about topics that used to feel tricky to bring up, but everything feels light and natural through play. The card stand is super handy!
Compact size, super easy to throw in a bag for coffee shop runs. While waiting for our food, we do 2 or 3 cards. My kid loves the illustrations, and it's SO much better than just handing them a phone.
Hands down the best conversation game in our collection. The prompts are framed so that kids can't just reply with a simple "yes" or "no"—they actually have to back up their reasoning! It's fantastic for building articulation skills.
Gorgeous packaging—definitely gift-worthy. The print quality is top-notch, and the content is a 10/10. It’s one of those rare games that is genuinely useful and fun at the same time.
At home, we call these cards our "truth detector." 😂 My kid is analyzing everything now! It's fantastic for developing verbal skills and teaching them how to back up their opinions. Highly recommend!
My kid finally gets that "everyone else is doing it" isn't a good reason to do it too. That’s a huge milestone for us. Thank you for this guide and these cards!
As a psychologist, I can tell you—this is foundational. We spend so much time teaching kids math, but we forget to teach mental hygiene. The card about the "successful influencer" is an absolute hit. 🤳 My kid realized that what you see on a screen isn't always reality. Thank you for the online parent guide; it helps you be a partner in play rather than getting preachy.
