Under the Sea MASH ideas

An under-the-sea MASH board suits anyone who's ever stared into an aquarium and wondered what it would be like to live down there. It's a good one for a beach day, a trip to the aquarium, or just a rainy afternoon when the ocean feels far away.

The categories dive right in: your car turns into something that swims instead of drives, your job comes with flippers, and your income might be measured in shells instead of dollars.

Pick one option from each list below for Spouse, Car, Job, Kids, and Income, or use them as a jumping-off point and write your own. The Where You'll Live category stays fixed to Mansion, Apartment, Shack, and House no matter what theme you play, so it isn't included here. Once your board is filled in, head back to the game to run the magic number and see what survives.
