You roll 3 instead of two dice. The third has Mr Monopoly on two faces, a 1, 2, and a 3, and a Bus.If you get the Mr Monopoly face, then after you take your regular turn, you must do one of two things:If there are still unowned properties on the board, you advance to the next one and buy it or put it up for auction as usual.If there are not, you advance to the next property for which you owe a rent, and cough up.The Bus side works with bus tickets in Mega Monopoly, so presumably the absence of bus tickets in the standard game would force some other interpretation.If you roll the 1,2 or 3, you just move the total of the three dice. For the purposes of doubles (and another move), just look at the two base dice. If you should roll "triples", you can move to any space on the board you wish. More compelling earlier than later.Obviously, this acts as an accelerant, making sure all the properties get scooped up sooner, and also forcing the endgame. Mega Monopoly is pretty high on my play list currently (no, really), but I haven't played it and so I don't know if it really works or not, or if the randomness of the die just makes things feel more chaotic and less rewarding. But clearly you need something like it on Mega Monopoly's larger board.
