Yu-Gi-Oh! aptitude

[mtbc]

Benjamin likes the collectible card game Yu-Gi-Oh! and indeed there are now many more such cards than people in the world. I am okay with games like Magic: The Gathering and I usually do well with complex systems of rules but Yu-Gi-Oh! overwhelms me with tedious detail: there are so many cards each with their own special rules and interactions with other cards that the optimization problem of deck-building seems thorny indeed.

I have wondered if this suggests any future career for Benjamin. The larger challenge is probably that of finding something that interests him sufficiently but I do think that it may be important to note if it is the kind of thing where Benjamin's facility with sizable rule systems affords him unusual advantage.
