Pirate Bods drops two of you on the high seas with sixteen shapes and no actual ship. Would Give 0 Stars If I Could is getting marooned on a single palm tree, one player defeated and one player being the island; Mums Gonna Kill Me is the regrettable anchor tattoo, banner and all, which somebody has to hold with a straight face; From The French 'Le Joli Rouge' is the Jolly Roger itself, skull over crossed bones, the trickiest crossbones anyone will attempt all week. It's built for a fancy-dress night that needs an activity, a family with an eyepatch left over from World Book Day, or anyone who's ever wanted an excuse to say arr without irony. Auntie Zeffie judges every plank-walk and parrot impression like she's heard every sea shanty going and rates none of them. Sixteen shapes, eight dealt a round, so the treasure map changes every time. No actual ship required, just two people and some questionable balance.

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.
