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. Jesse 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. Jesse Funk 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great set of cards *by S***A on September 26, 2026* Really liked this product. Great to play with the kids. Teaches emotional skills and also emotional regulation. Great with the younger kids. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great at helping kids learn about feelings. *by M***J on May 13, 2026* My girls absolutely love playing this game. They've played it thousands of times so I'd say it's pretty durable. It's great for making the kids think deeper about their feelings. It isn't difficult to play but when I play with my younger kids I make some rules a little different. Highly recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - da Vinci's Room Don't Go Bananas - A CBT Therapy Game for Kids to Work on Controlling Strong Emotions - Counseling Games, Therapy Toys, Social Skills Games for Kids - PlayTherapySupply CBT 123: The Hilariously Fun Game That Empowers Kids and Teens to Take Charge of Their Thoughts, Actions, and Emotions - Updated Version - Mad Dragon - An Anger Control Card Game --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/86918318-dont-go-bananas](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/86918318-dont-go-bananas) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-10-05*
