MASH (game)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MASH is a game, commonly played by young children, intended to predict one's future. Mash stands for mansion, apartment, shack (variations include street and sewers), or house.
[edit] Basic Rules
Note: there may be regional differences in how the game is played.
- Write down five of each of the following: names, types of cars, colors, number of children, places, and careers.
- One person starts drawing a spiral on a piece of paper and the person whose fortune is being told tells her when to stop. Then, you count across the spiral top to bottom to get the magic number for the game.
- Count through your lists of items and the letters M-A-S-H, eliminating the ones that you land on with your magic number. The last one left in each group is your winner. Keep counting through until you have only your last choice in each category left.
