Abstract
This paper introduces ZeusAI, an artificial intelligence system developed to play the board game 7 Wonders Duel. Inspired by the AlphaZero reinforcement learning algorithm, ZeusAI relies on a combination of Monte Carlo Tree Search and a Transformer Neural Network to learn the game without human supervision. ZeusAI competes at the level of top human players, develops both known and novel strategies, and allows us to test rule variants to improve the game's balance. This work demonstrates how AI can help in understanding and enhancing board games.
