    Abstract: Disclosed is an educational tool that teaches self-control and anger management skills during an argument. The game comprises at least two players, at least one deck of cards and a lip cover for each player involved in the game. A card is drawn between two players, wherein the card includes a scenario in which a confrontation may ensue or one that may draw an emotional response during discussion. The two players act out the scenario and discuss a resolution, while all other players monitor the discussion. If one of the other players believes the conversation is becoming too emotional or out of control, that player may initiate the lip covers for all players, allowing time for each player to think without speaking to regain self-control. This game may be used as a confrontation or human resources teaching tool, or a therapy tool for families to discuss topics while learning self-control.
