Welsh Bods gives two of you sixteen national shapes to wrestle into place, starting with Y Ddraig Goch — the dragon, reared up on hind legs with the tail curling behind. Have A Leek needs a tall white stalk and a green fan on top, held by someone who volunteered for the wrong half. Is That Chair Your Stool? somehow turns a bar stool into a genuine two-player negotiation about who gets the seat. It suits a Six Nations weekend, a St David's Day dinner that needs an activity between courses, or any family with strong opinions about whether Yr Wyddfa should be called Snowdon. Auntie Zeffie roasts every attempt with the same dry patience she'd use judging a male voice choir that's slightly off-key. Sixteen shapes, eight dealt a round, so the dragon doesn't come up every time. No singing required, though Bread Of Heaven tends to happen anyway once someone starts.

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.
