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 ### ⭐⭐ Might help some but not really suitable for children distressed by confrontation *by S***C on 19 February 2024* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great game *by B***Y on 27 December 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic resource *by J***E on 21 February 2021* ## 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? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/287882614-dont-go-bananas-a-cbt-game-for-kids-to-work](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/287882614-dont-go-bananas-a-cbt-game-for-kids-to-work) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
