Sports MASH Ideas

A sports-themed board is an easy pick for anyone who plays or follows a team, and it works for almost any sport since none of the categories below are tied to one game in particular. Fill it in with your own team, league, or rival to make it personal.

This is a good option for a team bus ride or a tailgate — everyone already has strong opinions about who deserves to be the star player in category one.

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.
