At a loose end during Germany’s first lockdown, the four Schwaderlapp sisters decided to put their long hours indoors to good use - by inventing a coronavirus board game that is selling by the thousands reut.rs/37GoSXS
'Corona' can be played by up to four players, who compete to buy all the groceries on a shopping list for an elderly neighbor who is shielding against the virus 
The players collect and swap game cards, and the winner is whoever delivers all the items first. Hurdles along the way include encountering the virus, which sends you into quarantine, or finding that hoarders have already snapped up all the pasta or toilet rolls
The sisters worked on the game most evenings during the spring lockdown, gradually incorporating more elements from news broadcasts about the pandemic
Impressed with his daughters’ efforts, father Benedikt Schwaderlapp decided to commercialize the game by hiring an artist to design cards, board and box reut.rs/37GoSXS
