Welcome to my new congrats. Just name your couple and answer the sign-up questions to join. I'll post 1-3 rounds per week depending my schedule and there will always be at least two full days between the rounds.

---

Rules:
- Bold the new additions. This really makes it easier for me and saves my time when the families get bigger.
- Follow the naming rules. Naming rules will vary between the rounds.
- You can have ages if you want, but you have to keep up with them by yourself.
- No one will get dropped by missing rounds. If you miss a round, your unnamed family members from the missed round will be moved to the next round and you won’t get more new additions. Always name your unnamed family members in the newest round by using the naming rules of the newest round. There’s no need to go back to make up missed round(s).
- In each round the players who have completed the previous round will get 2-4 new additions. The genders of the new children are chosen randomly unless otherwise stated.
- Late sign-ups are allowed at any point of the game. Just answer the sign-up questions and name your couple by using the naming rules of the newest round. You start getting new additions in the next round.
