Botanical Bods is what happens when the pack stops being cute about plants. Always Hungry wants a venus flytrap's snap, Zombie Funguy needs someone taken over from the inside, and Don't Touch is the pack's polite way of warning you about the one with the spines. Sixteen shapes cover the genuinely strange end of the plant kingdom — Older Than Dinosaurs, Be The Lichen, a fungus doing something to an ant it really shouldn't — so this is less window box, more the plants your garden centre keeps behind glass. Auntie Zeffie notices exactly how convincingly you've become something with no nervous system, and roasts accordingly. It's a step up from Gardening Bods: fewer watering cans, more things that'll outlive you or eat something smaller than you. Two of you, ten seconds a shape, best played by anyone who's ever been genuinely unsettled by a nature documentary about fungus.

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.
