Space & Sci-Fi MASH ideas

A space-themed MASH board works for anyone who's ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what else is out there. It's a good pick for a long car ride after dark, or for filling the time before a sci-fi movie starts.

The categories stretch nicely across the galaxy: your car becomes a ship, your job turns into something you'd need a uniform and a badge for, and your income could be measured in anything from gold to stardust.

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.
