What happens on the card

Two riders on rental e-bikes in a London park, Big Ben behind: you, and the Baron in a colander helmet with a dustbin-lid shield. On each pass a ring closes on his shield; tap as it turns green to hit him with your pool noodle. Three hits and he goes into the duck pond, and a red bus pulls up with their name on it.

Who it is for

Cyclists and commuters, e-bike riders, Londoners, history fans and anyone who likes a good, silly fight.
