Groups of four to six players work together, drawing Life Experience cards to gain materials for brain building. It is appropriate for use with community leaders, policymakers or government officials, health providers and educators. If your organization or community is embarking on a conversation about adverse childhood experiences, toxic stress, or other early childhood issues, the game can be a valuable resource for creating a common understanding and a common language on these topics.
