MASH is a game, commonly played by young children, intended to predict one's future. Mash stands for mansion, apartment, shack (variations include street, shed, sewers, and shelter), or house.

Rules

Note: there may be regional differences in how the game is played.

1. Write down five of each of the following: boy/girl (future spouse), types of cars, types of houses, number of children, amounts of money, and careers.
2. One person draws dots on a piece of paper and the person whose fortune is being told tells them when to stop. The number of dots is the magic number for the game.
3. Count through the lists of items, eliminating the ones that you land on with your magic number. The last one left in each group is the winner. Keep counting through and crossing out until you have only your last choice in each category left.
