What is monitored
The game is in beta. The guide watches four things:
- The version string and the developer’s update notes.
- The 172-country table: shares, odds and country indicators.
- The keepsake price, refund terms and availability.
- Classroom mode: the excluded-theme list, the class code and the lesson guide.
When one changes, the affected pages are re-checked and the date in the page header is updated. A correction that changes a fact is recorded here.

How to read the dates
Each guide shows a “Checked” date and the game build it was checked against. The date is the last time the page was compared with the live game and the developer’s pages. It is not the date the page was first written.
