Scottish Bods hands two of you sixteen national icons and a straight face to hold them with. Big Hair Don't Care is the Highland cow, fringe over the eyes and horns out wide; Toss The Caber needs one of you as the log and the other doing the actual heaving; What's In There is the sporran, round pouch and dangling tassels, no questions asked about contents. It's built for a Burns Night that's run out of poems, a family with a tartan somewhere in the loft, or anyone who's ever argued about whether the Loch Ness Monster is probably there. Auntie Zeffie judges each attempt with the warmth of Scottish weather in July, which is to say not much, but she means well. Sixteen shapes, eight dealt a round, bagpipes not included but the noise you'll make attempting Toss The Caber gets close enough. No kilts required, though they wouldn't hurt.

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.
