The main idea of this game is that people work together to build a family.
Here's how it works: I'll give a person's name and age, for example
DW (38):
Linda Elizabeth Browne
Then, the next poster will add a spouse, maybe
DH (37):
Joseph Cameron Browne
The next person will add the Brownes' first child. They might put
DS (9):
Julian Wynne Browne
And the next might say
DD/DD (6):
Lucy Rose Browne and
Sylvie Lane Browne
etc, until someone says
End Family!
Linda and
Joe with
Julian,
Lucy, and
Sylvie. New family:
DH (49):
Charlie Joseph Carl Jones
And so on! You can add ex-spouses, multiple births, adopted kids, boy/girlfriends, etc. Families can get pretty big as long as the ages make sense; for example, a 20 year old mother probably wouldn't have a 10 year old child. Names should work with each other pretty well. Last poster (that is, the poster who ends one family and starts a new one) should list all the members of the previous family, as I showed above.
Sound good?
I'll start:
DW (28):
Jacqueline Grace Schaffer
