I am 65 years old. My zulu begins and ends with 'Sawubona'. Is it too late for me? No way Gogo! The writing on the cards is big for beginners just like you. And the game has easier and more complex ways to play for different levels. Before long you will be khuluma'ing with all the handsome mdala's around town.

Will the game help my son pass his isiZulu test - and eventually get a good Matric? 

Playing the game will help with his test 'fo sho'. As far as Matric is concerned, you might need something stronger, we suggest you try the local muthi-market for further help. 

As a Grade 5 isiZulu teacher working with a very challenging class - can this game help?

Life is suffering. This is the first noble truth. The second noble truth is that this game will give you a few minutes to soothe your tired soul while your students are transformed into taxi drivers fluent in isiZulu. 

I heard board games are good for family fun - Will this game help me bond with my drama queen daughter?

Hawu Mama! That depends! The game is perfect for creating strong bonds between parents and children through quality time spent together. But if you block her taxi's path on the way to pick up her passengers ... you will have to learn the word 'shaya'.

Can the game help reduce screen time? 

This is a huge challenge for today's parents and teachers. We can promise that playing Sho't Left is guaranteed to reduce screen time on a 1:1 ratio of minutes played to screen time reduced.

Can I play the game while drinking 'Woolies' water or is that cheating? 

Drinking 'Woolies' water is definitely cheating. It is well known to help with multilingualism and 'venac vocab'. The evidence for this is here. We suggest waiting at least 30 minutes before playing.

Is it true that Sho't Left is easier to learn than Connect 4, more strategic than Chess, and is just much better all round than classics like Monopoly? We refuse to be drawn into such 'click-bait' speculation. Sign up here and we will send the final research findings if they ever become available.

Where can I invest my hard earned cash?

This is the most common question we hear. All the details on the 'Insider Edition' and the 'First Mover Edition' are here. If interested in hearing more please join the taxi queue here. The queue marshal will let you know then the next taxi is arriving.
