Sixteen shapes for two people who've spent a summer holiday entirely in a swimming costume. Swimming Bods takes the whole pool day and turns it into a shape-off: Bombs Away wants full commitment to the cannonball, Are You Sure That's A Veruca? demands you recreate something nobody actually wants to look at closely, and Built To Last... 5 Minutes is exactly as fragile as every armband ever made. Nothing here needs actual water — just two people, a camera, and the willingness to become Synchronize or a very unconvincing dolphin when it's your go. Auntie Zeffie judges from the poolside with a whistle she's clearly enjoying. It suits swim club regulars, anyone who's ever queued for the flume, or two people who still argue about who pushed who in first. Best played by people whose holiday photos are eighty percent pool, and if you've ever been told off for bombing near the shallow end, this is the pack that finally gives it a score.

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.
