Gardening Bods is for the two of you who've had the same argument about the lawnmower every weekend since March. Hard Graft turns you into a wheelbarrow and its pusher, Naughty Squirrel needs a properly bushy tail from whoever draws the short straw, and Oh Not On A Sunday is the pack finally saying what everyone's thinking about the neighbour with the strimmer. Sixteen shapes cover secateurs, watering cans, potatoes and one card (Love These Guys) that insists you be nice to the bees. It plays like an allotment committee meeting that's got out of hand, and Auntie Zeffie roasts your composition with the same disdain she'd give a badly pruned hedge. Two of you, ten seconds a shape, no actual gardening required — the pack does the digging in metaphor only. Best played by people who already know which one of them is the show-off and which is doing all the hard graft.

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.
