MASH Game: Mansion Apartment Shack House

The MASH game (Mansion Apartment Shack House) is the classic fortune-telling game where you discover who you'll marry, where you'll live, what you'll drive, and more. Play MASH online free, in our phone or Apple Watch MASH app, or with pen and paper!

The Basics of MASH

Basic Instructions for Playing MASH:

1. Choose your categories. Pick options for each category: your future home (M-A-S-H), a potential partner, number of kids, and the car you'll drive. Add extra categories to make your story longer.
2. Get your magic number. Draw a spiral until a friend says "stop," then count the lines to find your counting number.
3. Count and cross out. Count clockwise through all your options. Cross off the option you land on when you reach your magic number. Keep going until only one option remains in each category.
4. Read your MASH story. The surviving options tell your fortune - where you'll live, who you'll marry, and what your future holds!
