Get toilet paper, avoid infection: it’s the lockdown card game

A Jewish couple from Essex have channelled their lockdown boredom into creating a family-friendly Covid-19-themed card game that combines strategy with stockpiling.

“The Big Lockdown” involves stockpiling food, toilet paper and hygiene products while avoiding infection. Each game lasts around 15 minutes and can be played by up to four people aged over 8.

David and Madeleine Cooper, both 32, hope to commercialise the game next year and have raised over £3,500 of their £5,500 target on Kickstarter in order to do so. 

Mr Cooper says the “tongue-in-cheek card game” is a way for families to learn about taking precautions against Covid-19.
