# MASH+ > MASH+ is the home of MASH (Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House), the pen-and-paper fortune-telling game kids play to predict their future. Play it free in a browser, print a blank worksheet, read the rules, or get the app for iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac, and Windows. MASH stands for Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House, the four homes you can end up with. You write those across the top of a page, then add categories with four options each: who you marry, how many kids you have, what car you drive, what job you take. A friend closes their eyes while you draw a spiral, says stop, and the number of loops becomes your magic number. You count around the options again and again, crossing off whatever you land on, until one option survives in each category. The survivors are your fortune. A round takes about two minutes and needs nothing but a pen, some paper, and one other person. The site is run by Magnate Interactive Ltd, which has published MASH apps since 2008. Everything here is free to read, and the browser game needs no account. ## Start here - [MASH+ home](https://mashplus.com/): What MASH is, and every way to play it on paper or on a screen. - [How to play MASH](https://mashplus.com/how-to-play-mash/): The rules in five steps, with photos of a real paper game and answers to the questions people ask most. - [Play MASH online free](https://mashplus.com/play-mash-online-free/): The browser version.
