What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
It's fun, it's challenging, but it's not forgiving. The game is also more enjoyable if all the players are fans of the books/movie. Family friendly and challenging.
There is a plot chart deck, specific plot cards, the corruption track, and the sauron deck. The mechanics and goals have some thematic sense.

Computer scientist or systems engineer when they go to college and afterwards

Note that being into programming doesnt mean someone should be a computer scientist because computer science is more about solving puzzles like these than writing programs so if a kid likes programming but hates solving puzzles they probably shouldnt be a computer scientist

If you dont like doing that sort of thing then you probably shouldnt get this game

The kind of mentality for this game is someone who likes those puzzle games where a picture is cut up into a bunch of tiles which are then scrambled and you have to shift them around in order to get them organized correctly
