Ancient Greek Bods hands two of you sixteen shapes lifted straight off museum plinths and asks you to hold them without a plinth. You're A Goddess wants spear up and shield out; What's A Greek Urn? needs a big belly, two handles and absolutely no cracking; You've Ruined It is a broken column, which mostly means leaning dramatically into the rubble. It's history with the dust blown off — no Latin required, no togas expected, just two people working out how a lyre is meant to stand up on its own. Play it after a museum trip, before a Greek holiday, or any time someone's just finished a classics module and needs taking down a peg. Auntie Zeffie judges each attempt like she was there for the original and isn't impressed by the remake. Sixteen shapes, eight dealt a round, so nobody memorises their way to gold. The oldest pack in the range, and it plays like it's had 2,000 years to get the jokes right.

How it works

  1. The card flips.
  2. You've got 10 seconds for the two of you to work out who's what and make the shape together.
  3. Bods! The camera catches it, Auntie Zeffie scores it and judges you.
  4. Share the result, or don't.
