The game contains three suits of cards (Stop, Relax and Think cards and also Stressed Out, Confused, and Discouraged cards) and players must try to collect twelve cards to complete each suit. As they acquire more cards, they must choose different self-control skills, and they learn the value of patience and cooperating with others to achieve a goal. Feelings Cards help children understand their own feelings and the feelings of others. Relaxing Cards teach specific relaxation techniques. Thinking Cards teach children to think about their problems or concerns before they act on them.
