About Main Street Tycoon

Nobody around for a board game? This page opens Main Street Tycoon straight to the solo setup: pick one, two, or three computer rivals, choose how tough they bargain, and start. It is a free single player alternative to Monopoly® where the bots don't just roll and buy — they value color sets, railroads, and utility pairs, make and counter trade offers, and drive a hard bargain on Shark difficulty.

Games move fast because the computer never dawdles, and auto-play options (auto roll, auto buy, decline all trades) let you speed through the early game and take control when the deals get interesting. Starting cash, free parking, auctions, and other house rules are yours to set.

How to play

  • Choose how many bots to face (1–3) and their difficulty: Easy, Normal, or Shark.
  • Set house rules — starting cash, free parking jackpot, auctions — or leave the defaults.
  • Roll, buy the streets you land on, and complete color sets to build houses and hotels.
  • Trade with the bots to finish your sets; the last player solvent wins.

Frequently asked questions

Do the bots trade?

Yes. They propose trades when a deal completes a set for them, evaluate your offers on the value of the properties involved, and counter when an offer is close. Easy bots accept almost anything, Normal bots want a fair surplus, and Sharks drive hard bargains.

How long does a solo game take?

Usually 15 to 30 minutes against two bots with the default rules, less if you turn on auto roll and auto buy. Fewer bots and less starting cash make games shorter.

Can I save a game?

Solo games are kept in your browser while the tab is open. Finish in one sitting for now; saved games are on the roadmap.

Is it free and do I need an account?

Free, no download, no account. It runs in any modern browser on a phone, tablet, or computer.
