Show HN: Toy Wallet – A virtual bank for playing Monopoly with NFC support

Hey HN,

Yesterday I finally released my first App on the AppStore :)

It all began when we played Monopoly with a few friends and started running out of paper money quite often. I always loved the idea of the banking version of Monopoly (with the chip cards) so I decided to develop something similar as an app.

You can create multiple accounts (everyone can pick his favourite colour), and then transfer money to each other or to/from the bank.

To prevent cheaters you can also either set a PIN for each account that has to be entered whenever money is being taken out or (if your device supports it) use a NFC (NTAG) card or token as authorization method.

We really love using the app in our family especially when playing it with NFC cards as it gives a real banking feeling :)

You can also start multiple games and pick up a game later if you need to interrupt playing.

I translated the app in as many languages possible but I guess there might be a lot of translation mistakes :)

I'm really looking forward to get some feedback from you folks on the app, what do you think I could improve? And please feel free to share any translaton mistake you have found.
