Let the person decline purchasing the property without any action. Ban that person from purchasing that property if they land on it again while it is unclaimed.
This option will benefit players with a lot of money, but hurt the players with little money.
For example, if a property has one hotel and three houses on Boardwalk, then the rent would be $3400.
You can also make it an option for the remaining partner to buy the former partner’s portion of property.
Only two hostile bids are allowed between two players before the buyer completes one round around the board. Only one bid per property per player per round. The seller has to pay 30% of the trade value to the bank as tax (this also prevents immediate reverse hostile take over)
Pass out two or three free properties from the bank to each player at the beginning of the game. Only three houses are required before building a hotel instead of four. Always get out of jail on your first turn, whether you use a get out of jail free card, roll doubles, or pay $50. Always pay a flat $200 when landing on Income Tax. End the game when one person goes bankrupt. All players must add up their properties and houses/hotels at purchase price, their cash, and their mortgaged properties half of the purchase price. The winner is the player with the highest total value. If you wish for a shorter game, do NOT include any of the “house rules” which allow for more money.
