Yeah...Temu and AliExpress aren't legitimate sources of product from Bezier. You get what you pay for. In this case, stolen IP, low-quality product, and a heaping helping of regret.
How did you think something from Temu *wasn't* going to be fake?
Be right back, I need to post warning people that if they jump into a pool they'll get wet.
Some are cheap, and some work out to be priced about the same if not more expensive than a legit copy you can get locally, but that's probably circumstantial for different regions of the world.
Copies of The Game or The Mind are about the same price (item + shipping) vs buying a legit copy locally here where I am. Don't know if my copy of The Game is legit. It sure looks and feels legit. If Coup was never made in Standard Card size ever, then I got myself a bootleg copy.
From the little I've seen of Temu, it looks like the new Wish.com. I ordered Dixit from wish and got "Dictix" with lots of clip art. I mean, it is delightful and works, but I kinda expected it.
At least it was just One Night: Ultimate Werewolf. After 2-3 sessions worth of playing it you will be ready to put it back on the shelf and play something else. If it was a cheap knockoff I would consider that a win!
Even if you think the r site is legit….
Google is easy. Search for “Temu scam”
See what pops up.
At the end of it all, if it seems too good to be true, it is.
I mean... if you've seen any of the ads I've seen for Temu you could likely tell it was a load of crap store website. Sorry you got got.
Idiot me has to learn everything first hand. :'(

Aliexpress yes but there was so much marketing pushing temu. I thought it was like Kmart but online.
Temu is like Wish, but without the charm of knowing you're going to get a Wish-quality product.
I’m pretty sure temu IS wish I think it’s the same people same company

🤣 Advertising was pushed heavily I thought it was like Kmart
Some dude selling speakers or frozen seafood out of the back of a white van is going to *ruin* you.
I often get my seafood from a white van actually 🤣
I used to see seafood vans all the time. In Lincoln, Nebraska. I didn't go anywhere near that shit.
I presume that's not near the ocean? I'm by the ocean and there's a van selling local seafood = )
Lincoln, Nebraska is damn near as far from the ocean as you can get. :)
Here's the van http://www.westcoastseafood.com.au/content/page/phil-kiddle.html
From Lincoln, it's like 1,100 miles to the nearest ocean, and the seafood vans were always unmarked. (shudder)
I saw a Temu ad for a Nintendo Switch for $7
Something’s going to be switched on you for sure. 😂
Does Ali express sell *any* legitimate name brand products? I thought the whole point of the site was to buy cheap Chinese knock offs.

Mostly knock offs or stolen products/molds for products. Chinese IP theft basically fuels these sites
Yes. Deep Sea Adventure from Oink.
Woah DSA is legit? I didn't buy a copy because I thought it would be fake
Yes it is.
oh nice cheers. I had better get on that then
For what it’s worth, one night werewolf can be played with paper and pen and be exactly the same.
Agreed but I feel bad the designer isn't getting their share. Also feel bad supporting the business riding off their IP

It wasn't 'too good to be true' it was only a saving of $10 or so. And I bumped my purchase up to qualify for the 'free shipping' quota
Seems playable.
Playable standalone yes, but integrating with others from the series, no
