Our customized house rules are quite fun and move the game along faster as well:

* Eight players setup as four joint ventures.

* Joint ventures share cash and properties, but have two separate tokens on the board.

* No rent collection while in jail to dissuade camping out.

The end game becomes tense as your team has back to back rolls.

So the venture can't collect money if either partner is in jail?

Yes. Legal fees tend to scale to what ever you can afford so it seemed like a fair rule.
