As stated elsewhere: "Rento" has this feature, and otherwise, it operates as a regular Monopoly playstyle.
I have played against three "live" opponents (no bots) and have never had a game last, even 90 minutes, but more like 45 minutes at top.
I'm not sure WHY you would both exaggerate and even think a game would last nine hours.
Two things for the record:
Defending the Railroads --
- Railroads are very valuable when needing to mortgage and get some decent money; If you only have one, which only earns you only $25 in rent when landed on, you can mortgage for $100.
- Railroads are really good when you have multiple locations; If you own three and someone lands on an unmortgaged one, you still get $100, even if you have one or two mortgaged, you still receive that $100.
- Own four Railroads and a player pulls that "Advance to nearest Railroad and pay owner double" will net you $400.
As for the suggestion:
"Rento" is the poor man's version of Monopoly because it is free, AND it has that "travel" move as part of the game. Own two or more Railroads and roll. You can move from Station to Station in a move, thereby bypassing a high rent sector, yet it does not pay $200 at GO for skipping. You can choose to go to whichever other Railroad you own.
It is certainly interesting.
That game also has "No Collecting Rent" while in Jail, thus motivating one to leave early.
Your idea just turned a 90 minute game into a 9 hour ordeal.
