| Thanks for the feedback guys. I'd write a longer response, but with ENWorld being so sketchy still, I'd be afraid to lose my post to the etherweb.
Just a short response to kids "wanting" to do the reading/writing/math...at least with my daughter (almost 5) that hasn't been an issue in the various playtests we done. She seems eager to get through it and honestly seems to enjoy learning the math and counting on her fingers. Sounding out words and the phonics involved is less fun for her, but she's actively resisting learning to read right now. I think that is starting to change a bit, and I'd like to think the credit goes to the game.
I'm still working on art (not being an artist it takes me awhile) and the card design, but the tiles are done (for the most part), the rules are almost set, and it's just working out the numbers (for instance, adding 6 + 6 is hard since there aren't 12 fingers...) to make it a little more manageable for younger kids. Once I get that done, I'll be looking at ways to expand it for older kids. I'd like to grow this as she gets older until about age 10/11 when I think we can move into proper RPGs. | 
And yet another word from our sponsors
