Entry Description

EMO+ is an innovative board game designed to empower adults with autism spectrum (ASD) to better understand and interpret emotions, fostering deeper connections with those around them. By involving both individuals with autism and their support networks, EMO+ bridges communication gaps, reducing frustration and misunderstandings. Through visual tools, it simplifies complex emotions for clearer, more empathetic interactions. The game includes storytelling with prompt and emotion cards, and conflict resolution where players navigate perspectives using movement cards.
