The weekly neighborhood race is now on for everyone — picking your home neighborhood enters you automatically, and there's a one-tap join on the Community tab if you've been sitting it out. Only your weekly hex count is shared; your route never leaves your phone. Also new on the Community tab: last week's results. The neighborhood that took the week gets the gold, and big community milestones get their moment. Plus smaller fixes across the board.
