MonopolAI

Raise recklessly. Acquire aggressively. Explain everything to the SEC.

MonopolAI is the artificial-intelligence acquisition game for two to four founders with capital, conviction, and no meaningful internal controls.

Roll around the market acquiring companies from LangChain and Lovable to OpenAI and NVIDIA. Consolidate entire sectors. Build accelerator tiers. Collateralize your holdings. Charge indefensible rent. Keep going until every competing founder is bankrupt and your monopoly is reclassified as infrastructure.

Play online with friends at a private table, or play solo against Dario, Sam, and Elon. Each AI founder has a distinct investment philosophy, although “philosophy” may be generous.

Draw cards from the Insider Feed:

• Your model is suddenly state of the art. Collect $200.
• The demo was hard-coded. Pay $75 for emergency engineering.
• Your finance bot wires $50 to the internet.
• Collect $200 in founder liquidity. Explain that this aligns incentives.
• Advance to NVIDIA. You have developed a CUDA dependency.
• Go directly to Insider Trading while everyone issues statements.
• Get out of Insider Trading free. A former prosecutor joined your board.

Trade startups and cash. Launch hostile auctions. Survive margin calls. Attend a board retreat with no agenda. Build models, build moats, and eventually build a legal defense.

Features include full online multiplayer, private room chat, reactions, preset taunts, solo play, auctions, trading, collateralization, accelerator upgrades, data centers, music, sound effects, mobile support, adjustable speed, and enough financial misconduct to concern a competent compliance department.

All resemblance to actual governance is entirely market-driven.

Original satire. Not financial advice. Plenty of financial misconduct.
