Abstract in brief

The research tested a new board game aimed at helping preschool children learn to delay gratification, which is an important self-control skill linked to positive life outcomes.
Two studies showed that children who played the game were more likely to delay gratification during gameplay, with some evidence from the Marshmallow Test indicating increased wait times after playing in the first study.
The findings suggest the game might be effective in improving self-control in young children, but further research is needed to understand which parts of the game are most helpful, and how it impacts broader behaviors like achievement and health.]
