To make monopoly a lot more fun, every time someone lands on an unowned property, go to auction. It means people are engaged almost every turn.

I want to say this is actually the default rules? We didn’t play it this way growing up but I think every electronic version of Monopoly I have played (and I’ve played a number of them since I’ve always loved the game) does that. Some don’t even let you disable it.

Sort of. The default rules allow the player who landed on the property to buy it first. If they refuse then it goes to auction. When you make auctions the only way to buy property things get interesting.
