Scale Of Life Bods is the pack that makes two bodies stand in for everything from a bacterium to the biggest animal that's ever lived. Water Bear asks you to be a creature you could survive a vacuum as, African Bush Elephant wants trunk, ears and the sheer bulk of the thing, and Stop Playing Bods Go On A Walk is the card that just tells you to put the phone down. Sixteen shapes swing wildly in scale — Ecoli one round, Giant Sequoia the next — which is the entire point: two people making a same-sized shape for a bacterium and a tree. Auntie Zeffie judges with total indifference to how big the thing you're impersonating actually was. It plays like a biology lesson that got physical, ten seconds a shape, eight dealt a round. Best played by anyone who's ever argued about whether a blue whale or a redwood wins on size.

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.
