This game I think is entirely an original idea, and it is basically a combo of a CAF and the party/sleepover game MASH. I tried to keep it still about naming a family, but with some elements of MASH. So here we go!

---

Generate a number from 2-8 to determine how many rows down you will count, excluding the name of the section (the equivalent of the spiral you draw in MASH). Every time you land on an option, delete it until all the sections have one option left. If one section has one option left but the others still have multiple options left, skip that section each time until you have eliminated all but one option in each section. Once you have done that, you get to choose one of the things in that option or go to that site and generate the appropriate thing for that section. (I’ve never done one of these before, so hopefully this makes sense and isn’t too long.):)
