Had at one time introduced optionality on specific monopoly properties, as in

Say that a player lands on a property that he wishes to buy, but does not care to put down the entire sum, he can put down a % determined by the odds and secure the right to veto the purchase of the property by any of the next 1-3 players who manage to land on the property

The option value would have a close out price should any of the landed players wish to overturn the veto

And yes, players can provide other players mortgage debt secured by one or more properties (as opposed to players borrowing from a bank that cannot refuse to loan)

Etc etc

We can see how a carefree bank and/or an aggressive option player can cause bubbles and significantly shorten the time to end of game for any player incl self.

Such enhanced games ensure that the players get to go to sleep in reasonable time.
