Board game
Your turn, then waiting, rolling the dice and sometimes losing anyway. That is a lot of small rules at once, and different readings can spark a quick clash. The visual support below makes the order of play clear for everyone.

About this visual support
Conflict at the game table is rarely about the game itself. It flares up when two children are each certain the rule means something different, or when the wait for a turn drags on and someone loses interest. Losing also feels far bigger in the heat of play than it does afterwards.
Visual support lifts the order of play out of memory and turns it into something you can point at. When it is visible whose turn it is, how long the wait lasts and what happens if you finish last, no adult has to referee mid-game. The pictures become a shared agreement everyone accepted before the dice rolled the first time.
One concrete tip: place a small picture of losing next to a picture of the next round. Losing then stops being the end and becomes a step that leads onward, and the child sees the chance returns. If you want turn order, dice rules and waiting time in one place, you can assemble it in the Routined app and pull it up again next game night.
