Here's an example of what I am doing now:

return
    shpc == 0 ? "Currently, based on your selection below, you have not yet identified any hidden cards in your card deck." :
    shpc == 1 ? "Currently, based on your selection below, you have one hidden card in your card deck." :
                $"Currently, based on your selection below, you have {shpc} hidden cards in your card deck. These will not be visible.";

The code words but not having much knowledge of what was added to switch I wonder if this could also be done with a switch expression?

    you can replace this with a "classic" switch, no need for the new fancy features of c#8 switch – Gian Paolo Dec 28 '19 at 10:46
  • @GianPaolo the switch expression is far cleaner and easier to use than a `switch` statement with lots of `return`s or direct variable assignments in the case blocks. – Panagiotis Kanavos Dec 30 '19 at 09:35

Try this 

return shpc switch 
{
    0 => "Currently, based on your selection below, you have not yet identified any hidden cards in your card deck.",
    1 => "Currently, based on your selection below, you have one hidden card in your card deck.",
    _ => $"Currently, based on your selection below, you have {shpc} hidden cards in your card deck. These will not be visible."
};

Definitely:

return shpc switch 
{
    0 => "Currently, based on your selection below, you have not yet identified any hidden cards in your card deck.",
    1 => "Currently, based on your selection below, you have one hidden card in your card deck.",
    _ => $"Currently, based on your selection below, you have {shpc} hidden cards in your card deck. These will not be visible."
};
