Ocean Bods takes two of you underwater without getting anyone wet. Horsing Around wants a seahorse's curled tail, Underwater Unicorn needs a narwhal's single spiralling horn held dead straight, and Spin Cycle is what happens when the pack asks you to be a whirlpool with a partner. Sixteen shapes move from the obviously cute — Pearl Jam, Puff Daddy — to the pointed, with a handful of cards (Ghost Gear, This Is Not Good) that notice what's actually floating out there. It's a pack for anyone who's ever stood in front of an aquarium tank going "we should be that", now with a body count of two and a camera. Auntie Zeffie judges from dry land with her usual lack of sympathy. Ten seconds a shape, eight cards a round, best played by people who like a good tide pool and don't mind being compared to a jellyfish.

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.
