Cluedo: Discover the Secrets — The claim that the lead pipe and spanner/wrench were dropped and replaced with the baseball bat and dumbbell is incorrect; in the actual 2008 game, the lead pipe was retained, and the spanner/wrench was replaced by the baseball bat, while the dumbbell was an a
Cluedo: Discover the Secrets — The claim that the original version had nine weapons and extra characters such as Mr. Silver and Mr. Black is inaccurate; the original 1949 Cluedo had six weapons and six suspects, and Mr. Silver and Mr. Black were not in the original published version.
Dice chess — The claim that dice chess has historical roots in the 11th–14th centuries in Europe is not supported by established chess history; dice chess variants are primarily a modern invention, with no widely accepted evidence of such early European dice chess.
Dice chess — The claim of 'even earlier evidence in Burma and India' is misleading; while Chaturanga sometimes involved dice, the specific dice chess variant described (with piece-to-number mapping) is not historically documented for that period.
Don't Drop the Soap — The game was not released on January 31, 2008; the correct date is January 29, 2008.
Don't Drop the Soap — The National Prison Rape Elimination Commission did not issue a public statement criticizing the game; criticism came from individual members or spokespersons, and the direct quote attributed to the commission is unverified.

Enchanted Forest (game) — The game won the Spiel des Jahres Recommended 1981 and Spiel des Jahres 1982. This is incorrect; the game was a 'Spiel des Jahres Recommended' list in 1981, but it did not win the main Spiel des Jahres award in 1982. The main award in 1982 went to 'Sagaland' (

Gambler (board game) — The 1977 edition board has 28 squares, not 24.
Gambler (board game) — The IOU in the 1977 edition is for $100, not $200, and repayment terms differ.
Jinsei Game — The original release year of Jinsei Game is 1968, but the North American The Game of Life was originally released in 1860 by Milton Bradley, not as a North American counterpart from 1968; the Japanese version is an adaptation, not a direct counterpart of the s
Jinsei Game — The claim that the game has been adapted for 14 different video game platforms is unverifiable and likely exaggerated or incorrect; known adaptations include fewer platforms (e.g., Famicom, Super Famicom, Game Boy, Saturn, PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast,
Monopoly (game) — The entry states 'original_publisher=Parker Brothers (first published 1935)' and later says 'The game was first marketed on November 5, 1935', but the actual first marketing date is February 6, 1935, not November 5.
