How to Find your Future!
Players:
You can play by yourself or a ton of your best buds, just make sure to take turns
finding your future. Choose one person to be the Future Finder, and one to be the Mash Girl.
The Future Finder, sets up the game and “predicts” the Mash Girl’s future. If you are playing
by yourself, you get to do both!
Set-Up:
The Future Finder sorts the category cards into three piles, according to the color.
She then shuffles each pile and places the top two cards of each color deck, face up, into the
pockets in the corresponding color section in the Destiny Diary. The “M.A.S.H.,” “spouse,”
and “occupation” categories are permanent.
Play:
The Future Finder then reads each category card in the Destiny Diary and thinks of
three things that fit into the category (sometimes it is fun to choose a few things that the
Mash Girl thinks are yucky). These three items are written in each vertical column, next to
numbers 1, 2, & 3. Then, the Mash Girl gets to choose the fourth item for each category.
For example, for the category ”Type of Car” the Future Finder chooses: Porsche, ice cream
truck, and bus, (a couple of funny ones and a good one), then the Mash Girl adds her choice,
a BMW.
The Spiral Zone:
The Mash Girl has to close her eyes while the the
Future Finder begins drawing a spiral in the “Spiral Zone.” Whenever
the Mash Girl says “Stop!” the Future Finder must stop drawing the
spiral. She then draws a straight horizontal line through the spiral and
counts the number of times the spiral intersects the line. (see example)
This number is used to count off in the Elimination Round.
Elimination Round:
The Future Finder starts counting in the first category (M.A.S.H) and
counts down each item in the column and then back up the next column until she counts
to the Spiral Zone number. When she reaches the Spiral Zone number, she crosses out
that item. She then continues counting with the next item in the list being number 1. When
she gets to the Spiral Zone number again, that item is crossed out. An item that is already
crossed out is not counted again. When a category has only one item left, the Future Finder
circles the item and does not count it again. This pattern continues until there is only one
item left in each category.
Now you know the future!
Now the Future Finder reads off each item that is circled and tells the Mash Girl her future!
Just erase the board, reshuffle the cards, and play again! You’ll finda different future every
time you play!
There are 5 intersections,
so the Spiral Zone # is 5.
