I asked Fable 5 to recreate Monopoly but make each of the properties an AI lab or startup.
It implemented everything - game rules, money system, turns, even share codes for multiplayer games.
Once you have a monopoly, you can build racks and eventually a data center 🤓
Many users praise Fable 5 for generating a high-quality AI-themed Monopoly game called Compute Valley with fun details like multiplayer share codes, while a few call it a missed opportunity or question the AI's grasp of real costs.
I found it very funny that Claude decided to make itself (Anthropic) Park Place…and saved Boardwalk for OpenAI 👀
Thinking of publishing this as an Artifact because it’s genuinely a fun group game but I don’t want crazy API costs 😭

@venturetwins oh wow
@venturetwins Not enough Town
@venturetwins Once it’s built it will probably do ok on a cheap OSS model; I think @rauchg did that on his chess simulator
@venturetwins Was your prompt just "Build a monopoly clone with AI startups/labs instead of streets"? How long did it take? Any compile errors before you started the game on localhost. Would be great it you shared these details.
@SyProtSid Yes. No errors - just going back and forth to add or tweak features for a bit (like making the animation slower or adding a monopoly tracker). Probably <20 min work total.
@venturetwins Banger.
@venturetwins justine owning the light blue set with runway and suno while louis sits on openai is uncomfortably accurate
@venturetwins Google with 3 properties on the board 😎
@venturetwins The real value prop isn’t the Monopoly skin—it’s that Fable 5 handled stateful multiplayer logic and share codes from a single prompt. That’s the kind of compile-to-run demo that moves the needle on agentic coding benchmarks.
@venturetwins We need monopoly but with lobbyist
@venturetwins I really like the quality of fable 5. Its great.
@venturetwins imagine founders starting to build generative social indie games as a service after seeing this…
@venturetwins I just asked Grok build to "recreate Monopoly but make each of the properties an AI lab or startup."
what is happening 30 seconds later:
@venturetwins It’s a one-shot stuff
@venturetwins Had a similar idea yesterday and made a monopoly board for the AI sector, but decided to call it monopolycule because of the prevalence of polycules in AI.
@jgreze Huge missed opportunity
@venturetwins Fantastic!
I’d love to see the chance cards – did it come up with some fun ones?
@venturetwins Now do Prosperity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Landlord%27s_Game
@venturetwins One shot or took some tweaking? So cool.
