It's odd that they include the phrase "a board game invented in prison" in every photo caption. Is this an AI caption thing that repeats the same descriptor each time?

I imagine it's because the photos can sometimes be used in other contexts divorced from article, and they just don't bother to write more than one caption for this purpose.

Interesting, the second instance you mentioned says that Jonathan Rulleri invented the game, which is false.

Boston Globe does this too, it's very odd- but it's a long-standing house photo caption style thing.
