Nazca Bods takes lines drawn into Peruvian desert two thousand years ago, big enough to only make sense from the air, and shrinks them down to two people on a living room floor. Form The Famous Monkey wants the spiral tail held tight and the limbs mapped out exactly; Pot Smashing At Intersections recreates the theory that these lines were walked and marked with broken pottery, a strange thing to explain to your other half mid-pose; The Astronaut is the strangest geoglyph of the lot, and getting the proportions right is the whole challenge. It's for anyone who's fallen down a documentary rabbit hole about ancient mysteries, or a family who wants ten seconds of genuinely obscure history between the football-themed decks. Auntie Zeffie judges each shape like she watched them being drawn the first time, unimpressed then and unimpressed now. Sixteen shapes, eight dealt a round — the only pack where getting it slightly wrong from ground level is basically the point.

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.
