This is a fortunetelling game, an old youth group tradition that didn't get passed down very well and that I only recently learned.
- Decide whose fortune is going to be told.
- Pick out the kings, the queens, or two of each (whatever the person is into) and put them face-up, side by side, on a flat surface. Hold the rest of the deck face-down in your hand.
- Pick out four people, any four people.* It's funnier if they're actually in the room, but celebrities are also awesome for this. Each suit (clubs, spades, hearts, and diamonds) represents one person.
- Ask a single question (e.g. Which one will give her/him/them/xir/kir/hir/etc. foot rubs? Which one will make the monthly CVS run? Which one will hog the TV for their favorite show every night?)
- After this question, deal out four cards and place each one in front of the Kings and Queens.
- Repeat steps #5 and #6. Continue this until there are four cards left in the deck, set aside.
- Pick up each pile, one at a time, and announce how many there are of each suit in the pile.
CLUBS: represent how much they will beat the person (this actually leads to a lot of friendly BDSM jokes, ironically. I have no idea why it represents that, but I didn't invent the game)
HEARTS: represent how much they will love them.
SPADES: represent how good they will be in bed (or, as we like to euphemism 'cause we're a church group, how good they are at tennis)
DIAMONDS: represent how rich they will be.
The higher the value, the more of this the potential future soul mate will have.
*No, you do not have to be attracted to the person. Once, Christina had her fortune told, and she put me and Ellen Degeneres as two of her potential soul mates - and she's asexual.
I know I'm not explaining this very well, but it's easier to have an experienced player show you. Ah well, have fun anyway!

"CLUBS: represent how much they will beat the person" - I had to laugh so hard on that one :D OF COURSE this leads to BDSM-jokes (I have a few in my head right now without having played that game) I understand why it represents how much they will beat the person, but still, it´s just too funny xD Usually I´m not much for making jokes on being beaten by your partner, but this one... I love this game. Haven´t played it ever, but I´m sure I will try next M'era Luna and have my fun :D Thanks for sharing!
