Start writing your categories. You'll be using each area of the hashtag except for the middle. That means you'll need 8 categories. They can go in any order, but the standard ideas are starting with the necessary ones : M.
Choose your options. This can depend on how many friends you're with or how you decide to play the game. There should be 4 options per category. To make it more fun, let the person whose fortune you're telling only pick one for each category. Get creative.

Start counting. When your friend says, "Stop! This is your number. Remember it. If your friend is being cheeky and doesn't say "stop" for a long time and you end up with 52 dots, cut the number in half. You'll lose track if the number is too high! Go around your paper, stopping on that number. Start at the top left, with the first category being 1, 2, 3, and 4. If your number is 7, you'd stop on the 3rd option of the 2nd category. Cross off each option you land on.
Resume again from where you left off, skipping over each already crossed-off option. As you go around and around, your options will start dwindling. When you cross off three in a category, circle the fourth -- you've determined the future! Be sure to keep count accurately! Otherwise you'll end up with kids instead of 3.

You could play it by yourself, but it's better to play with a friend. Although you generally do not want more than 8 or 9. As mentioned above, the game would typically start with writing M. This number was used to count off from the beginning to each potential soul mate, career, type of residence etc. Some game experts speculate that the game arose from the use of those little origami fortunetellers that we all somehow know how to make, no matter where in the country we grew up and despite the fact there was no Internet when we were kids.
