AlphaZero (Google's chess bot) famously started with no 'book knowledge' (e.g. ideas on how to play chess), instead, it learned by playing against itself many, many times over.

Has anyone done something similar to that with Monopoly? (by contrast, the technique used in this video is much more basic; it comes up with some specific rules a player will use, then has those bots play eachother)

I have thought it couple of times, most recently after this video. I so want to make it since I feel all these videos tend to lack two things the zero-style would offer.

One: it would offer no human assumptions.

Two: more importantly it should and could include the trading part. (the op's video had some, but it felt really really limited from what I gathered)

It is really rare to see trading to be implemented. Yeah, it is the hard part but in competetive monopoly, it is big part.

I am yet to figure both input/output spaces for it. As soon as I figure them, I probably will do proper zero-style ai for many games.
