Play-2-Learn Dominoes® Conflict Cruncher is a
game designed to give kids the knowledge and skills
they need to resolve conflict in a non-violent, winwin
way.Some cards have two good alternatives. Choice Cards describe a conflict and a solution. Players explain
why it is a good or bad solution. Win-Win Cards give players the opportunity to resolve a conflict with
another player in a way that is good for both of them. Finding a win-win solution requires creative thinking in
order to come up with a solution that is better than a simple 50-50 compromise. If the players cannot come
up with a true win-win solution, ask them to describe a compromise that is fair to both. True or False?
Cards are true-false questions about conflicts and the best way to resolve them. These cards contain advice
about how to handle and resolve conflicts.
The game comes with a set of dominoes and four decks of cards. The rules parallel those of a standard
domino game with one exception: Players must answer a question before placing a domino.
The player whose turn it is must ask the player on the opposite side of the table to pick a card that matches a
number on the domino the player wants to put down. The opposite player reads the card aloud, and then the
player whose turn it is answers the question. The player can place a domino only if a correct answer was
given.
Each deck has a picture of a domino on the top and a question and answer on the reverse. Players pick a card
from a deck that matches the domino they wish to play.
Playing time: Flexible from 30 minutes–45 minutes Players: 2–5
