## Questions & Answers

**Q: Ideas on how to use these??**
A: I use them in individual and family sessions, instead of me asking all the questions and being the point of focus. 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" (63×88mm).

**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.
