This game is played in rounds. In an original Congrats the host usually keeps track of a limited amount of players (because of the work involved on the host's part) and will start out with a sign up round. The idea of this game is to slowly build a family, where each round signifies a number of years that have gone by and a new family member is added by the host. The players name the new family member according to the rules provided by the host and post the full new family in a reply. In the next round the host lists all the families from the first round (and sometimes changes all the ages according to how much time has passed) and adds a new family member to it, which the players will then have to name again accoding to the rules provided. The game continues until the host signals that a certain round will be the final round of the game.
Year Game
This game is similar to a Congrats game except that it takes place all in one post. Players typically roll a dice to determine the characteristics of their starting couple. The player can choose how many "years/rounds" to complete (the game is structured to be able to play as many or few "years" as the player wants). Each "year", the player will roll a dice to determine what event happens to the family (usually these are new additions or changes in the family's status). The player keeps track of their own family and adds one year to the ages of their family for each new "year/round" they decide to play. Once the player is finished, they post their family and the events that took place each year all in one post. Some players decide to write a story about their family as they go, while some write a sentence or two about each event, while others don't write anything at all and add new additions into the family.
