This is a card game for teaching kids how to combine unix commands through pipes.
This game assumes the parent knows the basic unix commands: cat, grep, tail, head, wc, sort, uniq. The parent should show also show those commands in action the computer as well, if you do not have any UNIX system you can use jslinux in your browser.
Example game round:
print the most common line from a file- we need to first cat the file (in our case the file is card 03.txt), then sort it, uniq count it, then do numeric sort, then tail -1:
cat 03.txt | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail -1
