There's an infinite number of methods to balance luck and they touch on our conception of fairnes and competition itself.
For instance, which is more fair, letters balanced by pointsbanf partitioned before the game starts, or weighted letter draws based on the current board state and the potential number of scorable points per player? And perhaps more importantly, why?

(Spoiler: The effect of every optional rule in Monopoly is to make the game take 5x as long.) Maybe you could spend points to pick two letter and keep the best... Why? Because then 1) you'd know what that rule would do, and 2) maybe it'd be neat! Like, maybe you'd find an easy way to provide more balance between newbs and experts, or minimize the variation in score against a given opponent, or whatever.
