MASH is a game where players predict their future by crossing out options in different categories until one option is left in each category. Players come up with categories and options to fill them in and take turns drawing spirals to determine their "magic number" which they use to cross out options. The game is meant to be made age-appropriate when playing with children by changing the categories. Players continue crossing out options using their magic number until only one option remains in each category.

1. MASH is a fun game that lets you “predict” your future. Change the
categories to make it age-appropriate for kids you are babysitting.
How to Play:
1. Fill in four options for each
category. Change or make up
categories as you like!
2. First, draw a spiral in the
empty circle until a friend tells you to
stop. Count the number of loops—
that is your “magic number.”
3. Start with the “mansion,
apartment, shed, house” category,
count down your list of options across
all categories. When you get to your magic number, stop, and cross out the
option you landed on.
4. Repeat. Keep counting, and every time you get to that magic number, cross
out the option you landed on. When you get to the end of the categories, go
back to the beginning. Skip anything you’ve already crossed off.
5. When only one option is left in a category, circle it! Skip that category com-
pletely as you continue crossing off options.
6. You are all done when you get down to one circled option in each category.
Now you know the future!
Now flip over to play!
