Abstract
The mental health of leukemia children triggers more and more attention. It is emergency for medical staff to help leukemia children to establish a suitable perception of treatment so that children could have faith and build trust to the doctors and nurses. This study aims to help leukemia children to establish a suitable perception through a set of card game designed with narrative method. Researchers designed the game with questionnaire method and tested it by participant-observation. The result of the test showed the playability of the game and verified the possibility of communicating the medical information to the participants.
