Question

Can I play M.A.S.H. alone?

Community Answer

Of course! It's very simple to play on your own. Just make sure you are following the rules, and when it comes to the dots, set a stop watch to determine what your number is.

Thanks! We're glad this was helpful.

Question

Can we play using different categories than these?

Yes, you can choose whatever categories you want. These are just the "classic" categories of the game.

Question

Is there a way to do this without paper?

Community Answer

Yes. There are apps you can install on a mobile device or computer to play the game, but to play it the old-fashioned way, you need paper.

You skip the whole category the word is in if you circled the word and the rest are crossed off.

Question

Is there any way to make the questions more childish when playing M.A.S.H?

Community Answer

Sure, just use your imagination. Categories could be make-believe pets, what Disney princess you’ll live with, stuff like that.

Question

Is this real? And can I play it alone?

Community Answer

It's not "real" in the sense that it can't actually predict the future, it's just for fun. You could play it by yourself, but it's better to play with a friend.

Question

How many categories can I have?

Community Answer

Any. Although you generally do not want more than 8 or 9. To do a speed version, many people only do 5 or 6.

Question

Does the word have the be mash or can it be something else?

Rose

Community Answer

Generally, you use the word MASH, but there is a slightly different version called MATCH. This stands for Mansion, Apartment, Tent, Cottage, House. Other than that, the rules are the same!
