    This is like saying a LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean set is an ad for Disney.

    It’s literally just the “tripadvisor edition.” It’s a legal agreement between both parties to brand the game with tripadvisor stuff. The traditional Game of Life is still out there, without this. There’s also a litany of other versions of these special editions of the game. The tripadvisor one does seem a little weird, but it’s not any weirder than Game of Life Yokai Watch edition. I didn’t know life involved death and ghosts.

    Like you bought the advertisement knowing it was an advertisement because it says “tripadvisor edition” right there on the fucking box.

      This is exactly what was ordered, there’s absolutely nothing to indicate this is a “TripAdvisor edition”.

      I don’t consider licensed themes like a “LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean” set to be ads, or at least if it is its more like some sort of “mutually beneficial” ad. Those are actually cool or neat or themed in something of interest that has a fan base like a show or movie. Some random logo of a website/service slapped all over is not that.

        Damn, that’s a bad look. I just assumed it was the tripadvisor edition because one existed. It sounds like this is a stealth “Amazon edition” that’s different than other retail copies. I wonder what the agreements were that lead to this edition?

            The fact that 8 relatively short sentences are considered a “huge rant” speaks ill to your level of literacy. But you do you.

      You learned about mortality from Game of Life Yokai Watch edition?
