The main idea of this game is that people work together to build a family.

---

Here's how it works: I'll give a person's name and age, for example

---

DW (38): Linda Elizabeth Browne

---

Then, the next poster will add a spouse, maybe

---

DH (37): Joseph Cameron Browne

---

The next person will add the Brownes' first child. They might put

---

DS (9): Julian Wynne Browne

---

And the next might say

---

DD/DD (6): Lucy Rose Browne and Sylvie Lane Browne

---

etc, until someone says

---

End Family! Linda and Joe with Julian, Lucy, and Sylvie. New family:
DH (49): Charlie Joseph Carl Jones

---

And so on! You can add ex-spouses, multiple births, adopted kids, boy/girlfriends, etc. Families can get pretty big as long as the ages make sense; for example, a 20 year old mother probably wouldn't have a 10 year old child. Names should work with each other pretty well. Last poster (that is, the poster who ends one family and starts a new one) should list all the members of the previous family, as I showed above.

---

Sound good?

---

I'll start:

DW (28): Jacqueline Grace Schaffer
