In one way - better than full version
Related to game itself: Great game in it's own right, one that is easy to learn/teach and easy to play. Really light weight entertainment. There is a con of counting points, you'll need a piece of paper and pen to count them after each turn.
Related to travel edition: Unsure, if smaller size can be caunted as pro or con - it takes up less space on table and in packaged form (duh), but that could be problem with older players or small children who still haven't mastered full motor control of their hands.
Super awesome: it comes with a bag. Gameplay requires some kind of bag to draw blocks from without seeing them, and full version comes in a cardboard box - so you have to find correct size bag by yourself and either store game in that or put it back in box each time... Messy and really not the best solution. This one - simply take blocks as you need them from bag, and when you're done, bam, throw them back in and you're done. All in one place, all with nice label and original packaging.
