My wife and I play this game every week. My kids have played it but they aren't as good as the wife. It's great and will give your little guy incentive to want to read the item descriptions, but they also feature unique badges that are good for non readers which you'll learn to recognize as you play. I recommend doing the tower, which is a great way to quickly try different gear and enchantments.
My only caveat is we play on the Xbox one but it should be a similar experience.
Oh, they definitely do care about schools.That's where middle age conservatives meet their wives.
