Dead Bods asks two of you to act out increasingly elaborate ways to go, and the pack is not shy about the details: Drinking Polonium Tea wants a very specific kind of poisoning, Anger A Swan is a genuinely accurate cause of death nobody warns you about, and Let Your Dog Drive is the closest thing to a safety lecture this pack offers. Nothing here is real and nothing here is aimed at anyone — it's just two people building the shape of a bad end while a phone watches from somewhere steady. Auntie Zeffie has, by her own account, died several times and outlived the lot of you, so she judges these with the weary authority of someone who's actually been there. It plays best with people who find gallows humour funnier than they'll admit at the funeral. Sixteen ways to go, eight dealt a round, so nobody dies the same way twice. Bleaker than the rest of the shelf, and proud of it.

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.
