Cancer Crusher was made for kids ages 6 and up who are navigating cancer, and for the people who love them. It's just as powerful for siblings looking for a way to connect, or for families navigating a parent's or grandparent's diagnosis.

Anyone who needs a way to understand, talk about, and feel less alone in the cancer experience has a place in this game.

To play without support, kids will need to read and count. Adult or older sibling support is welcomed if a younger child would like to join the fun!

2 to 4 players, though Team Mode can accomodate up to 6. A typical game takes about 15 minutes, which makes it a great fit for clinic waits, infusion days, or one more round before bed.

Team Mode is an alternative way to play where players work in teams or all together, share Power Cards, and cross the finish line together. It's ideal for younger players who benefit from extra support, sibling play, or group settings focused on collaboration.

Cancer Crusher was shaped with input from pediatric cancer patients and survivors, families, Child Life Specialists, and healthcare professionals, and it was designed so every child can experience progress and empowerment through play, no matter where they are in their journey.

Importantly, the game is about navigating cancer's challenges, not beating cancer. Winning does not equate to becoming cancer-free and there is no way to lose to cancer in the gameplay. The outcome of the game is never meant to reflect the outcome of a child's medical journey.

You know your child best. If you have any concerns prior to playing, we recommend starting in collaborative Team Mode.

Not at all. It plays as a genuinely fun board game, and many families use it to help siblings, classmates, and loved ones understand what someone they care about is going through.
