It opens the door to more appropriate discussions and improves communication. I recommend that families use it in the home for a family activity. I teach BHA's and line staff to use it as a small group activity. Since they are also playing cards I teach card games like Gin, Or Gin Rummy, Cribbage and incorporate using the information on the cards when they make points. **Q: I ordered these and only received the metal box and there are no cars inside. How can I get my money back or the cards?** A: Send a message to the vendor through Amazon. **Q: What kind of finish do they have and are they poker or bridge size cards-dimensions please ? thx** A: The cards have a durable matte finish. They are poker size cards: 2.48"X3.46" (63Γ—88mm). **Q: For which age range the 52 critical thinking cards are? Thanks** A: I'd say bright and inquisitive high schoolers and older. Although if a middle schooler shows great interest in the nuances of the exchange of ideas and how it can be distorted, it could be of benefit also. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mind Brain Emotion 52 Essential Life Skills: No-Excuses Game to Teach Kids, Teens & Adults How to Care for Self & Chores, Practical Solution for Responsible Boys, Confident Girls, Happy Family - ARTAGIA Fun Social Skills and Therapy Game for Adults and Teenagers: CBT Family Game for Therapeutic Conversations and Better Relationships.
