Monopoly Rules

I absolutely love the board game Monopoly, so I was pleased to discover a page listing people's variations on the standard rules.

There are some great ideas. Like this one...

Six Railroads
Rule: The two utilities are treated like additional railroads. They cost $200 to buy and can be mortgaged for $100. The rent for five railroads is $400 and for six railroads is $800.
Reason: Makes the utilities actually worth having and a railroad tycoon a serious opponent.

Makes me think a bit more about the various possibilities. I guess the possibilities for variation is one of the things that makes Monopoly such a great enduring game.

All I need now is to convince somebody to play a game with me.
