Monopolize 0.70

Hello,
I decided to write my blog posts also in English now (I apologize for any mistakes in advance, I'm German) because the current version 0.70 of Monopolize now supports language files (English is already integrated and activated by default). As you might not know Monopolize, I'll try to shortly describe it:
Monopolize is an implementation of the famous board game Monopoly which you probably know. It's still in development but already playable, and most of the official rules are implemented. I now want to focus on fixing bugs (would be great if you told me if you find any bugs, maybe even with screenshots) and improving the AIs (which are already good at the moment but you can still beat them).
The game play should be mostly self-explanatory; to start a new game you click "New game" in the main menu and choose name, type and token of the players (2-6 are possible) and then click OK (the button is only visible if all players have different names and tokens).
At the moment, there is only the American classic (and the German) board (with the American chance/community chest cards), but I will integrate a UK board with one of the next versions.
To save a game, simply click the close button or press Escape, a save-file dialog will automatically appear (if you don't want to save your game, simply click cancel). You can load games choosing the "Load game" button in the main menu.
You can adjust the background color of the game using the "Settings" button in the main menu and, as you probably guess, the "Exit" button exits the game. ;)

Monopolize 0.70 can be downloaded here, but a few additional programs (which are absolutely trustable) are needed:

To run the game, simply extract the ZIP file and then double-click on Monopolize.exe in the new directory.
Have fun with Monopolize!

Best regards
