What do you mean Ark Nova is too difficult for grandma? That's neither a game problem nor a curation problem. Grandma just needs to level up, we're in the 2020s here. Oh great, now she's crying while she shuffles the giant deck all wrong. Half the cards are upside down. Just give it to me; this is hard to watch. Your grandma is the worst.
