Medieval Kingdom MASH ideas

A medieval kingdom MASH board is perfect for anyone who grew up on fairy tales and never quite let go of them. It works well before bedtime stories, on the way to a renaissance fair, or any time someone wants to be royalty for a few minutes.

The categories fit the setting without much translation: your car becomes whatever gets a knight from one castle to the next, your job comes with a title, and your income is counted in coins 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.
