InstructionsFirst, the player works through the categories and writes down four options for each.For each category, they should pick two dream examples of the category. For example their dream spouses may be Brad Pitt and Scarlett Johansson. They should also pick two nightmare spouses, like Attila the Hun and Darth Vader.Once all the categories are filled with four options, the player draws a quick spiral in the spiral space until someone tells them to stop (if you're playing alone, just draw with your eyes closed and stop randomly). Starting at the top of your spiral and working down, count how many lines there are in your spiral. That's your magic number Write it in.Now, start on the word 'Mansion' and count to your magic number. Count the words, 'Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House' separately and then count each of the options. So if your magic number is 6, your finger will land on the second 'Spouse' option.Draw a line through the option your finger landed on. Now keep counting to 6, crossing out the sixth option each time. The next option to cross out for 6 would be the fourth job option and so on.Continue counting until you have eliminated all but one option in every category.M.A.S.H. can be customized to all kinds of niches by changing the category names. For example, you could create Christmas M.A.S.H games by switching the categories to dream Christmas parties, songs, visitors, funny reindeer names and dream gifts. Or you could make a tongue in cheek game for older people by changing categories to numbers of grey hairs, names of cats, lists of old people hobbies etc.Pro tips: *Don't use real names for the spouse category. Instead make up nicknames that only you, and if you are trusting, a few friends know. *While playing M.A.S.H in church, nod your head now and then to make sure it looks like you are taking sermon notes. *Do a replay if you don't get everything you secretly wished for.
