Hard Bods is where the pack stops joking around: sixteen shapes that look reasonable on the card and turn into genuine negotiations the moment two of you try them. Do The Titanic wants the pose everyone already knows and considerably more balance than you have; Now You're An Octopus asks for eight limbs between two people, which is maths neither of you studied; Be A 'B' is exactly the kind of instruction that sounds simple until you're the only letter in the alphabet nobody can hold. There's no props, no rehearsal, just a phone propped up somewhere sensible and two people committing to it for ten seconds at a time. Auntie Zeffie marks this pack the same as any other, which is the problem — she doesn't grade on a curve for difficulty, she just watches you fail with total sincerity. Best played with someone competitive enough to actually attempt the octopus. Sixteen shapes, eight dealt a round, and at least half of them beat you the first time.

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.
