   Is #Shephy just a board game, or is it available for #Switch / #PS4 ? GameStop had not heard of it.

      Also, how reading-heavy is it? It sounds like something I could give to #Little_Boy_A for his birthday, but he's not reading yet.

      They still don't know what it is.

         @lnxw48a1 Oh! Sorry, I must've missed that message. You need to be able to read numbers, and the cards have effects but each of the cards have a unique picture so you can learn them. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/651340/extras/cards.jpg?t=1502258589 . You do still need to be able to do basic math and understand numbers though

            You need to understand basic math in the sense of "Okay, I have 4 hundreds and a 300. If I upgrade all but one of the 100s and then use 3 300s to merge with a 100 then I get 1000 sheep and I win"

               For a kid it would definitely be very frustrating though, like actual solitaire. According to the Switch phone app I've played probably 10 hours of Shephy and I can count the number of games I've won on one hand. The tutorial even prepares you for this (there's no way to win the tutorial game)
