how does this verson differ from one 30 years old?

This one still has all the pieces.

Is there anywhere to order the old school version of this game? I'm 30 years old and I remember playing one when I was a kid.

ASIN: B004S6SQZI is the older 1999 version with the LARGE BALL/BATHTUB ... the 1986 Version (ASIN: B002NNYMPQ) also has the larger ball in the bathtub. Then if you are as old as I am...you go to the 1973 version --- ASIN: B006HY1F84 . In any case...I actually have ALL three types.

The desceiptions "from the manufaturer" and the "features" dont match. neither do the pictures. is it the round plastic or square cardboard layout?

It matches the picture of the board set up - square cardboard with plastic pieces.

can i play this game if im 12 years old?

Absolutely!! We had a 9, 14, 16 and 33 year old playing together.
