Hej och vlkommen till Kalles Monopol

Jag har ftt en del synpunkter p dialogen "Lgg till/nda spelare".
1. Fr att en spelare skall kunna lggas till, mste ett namn anges.
   Namnet fr inte vara tomt.
2. Nej, det gr inte att ngra att man startade Monopol, man mste
   lgga till spelare, stnga dialogen och sedan stnga spelet.

Ha s kul, hoppas det gr bra fr er som spelar ver ntverk!
Hlsningar
/Kalle

Version 1:

Helmacron: No idea what that says. Probably some disclaimer saying "Hey, bitch,
don't rip off the game." but, hey, My Policeman, I don't speak Swedish.

Joq: Well, yeah. Helmacron got permission from Karl Runmo to release his game
in english, so, there you go. This is the HOTU version of the game. quaz
designed the company list with me, and Reverendo did the graphics design, and
made the beautiful playing board. I changed the game texts to correspond the
new theme. Yay. Here ya go. More fine-tuning will come later.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 2:

Joq: This is the new and slightly improved version of HOTUpoly. No drastic
changes, doowopman remade the playing pieces and found appropriate game midis,
and I fixed some evil grammatical errors. Like I said, nothing major, but makes
the game a bit more enjoyable. Huzzah for doowopman!
