When you first pick up this game you may think, like my pals did, that this is a terrible idea for Top Trumps. You couldn't be more wrong. It takes a while to overcome the fact that made up things are better in this game than real ones, that the Louvre (the largest art gallery in the world as I understand it which contains the Mona Lisa) is worth less than the Mona Lisa itself and that Leonardo Da Vinci's painting of the Mona Lisa is (correctly) considered as "fact" in the sense that it definitely exists whereas his painting of the Last Supper is only considered as "faith". However, once you overcome these things you will realise that this is the Top Trump of Top Trumps. To make this game even more exciting we found it was fun to give the characters nicknames such as "Remy Legoland", "Sir Ginger Teabag" and "Tom Hanks". In addition players may also wish to play what we called "Reverse Top Trumps" in which the lowest value always wins and in which the Cilice Belt (or as we amusingly referred to it, "Beltsy") excels. All in all highly recommended!

Top Trumps is a card game. Each card contains a list of numerical data, and the aim of the game is to compare these values in order to try to trump and win an opponent's card. A wide variety of different packs of Top Trumps have been published. Each pack of Top Trumps is based on a theme, such as cars, aircraft, dinosaurs or characters from a popular film or television series. Each card in the pack shows a list of numerical data about the item. For example, in a pack based on cars, each card shows a different model of car, and the stats and data may include its engine size, its weight, its length, and its top speed. For example, if the theme is about a TV series or film, the cards include all its characters and the data varying from things like strength and bravery to fashion and looks, depending on the criteria.

All the cards are dealt among the players. There must be at least two players, and at least one card for each player. The starting player (normally the player sitting on the dealer's left) selects a category from his or her topmost card and reads out its value. Each other player then reads out the value of the same category from their cards. The best (usually the largest) value wins the "trick", and the winner takes all the cards of the trick and places them at the bottom of his or her pile. That player then looks at their new topmost card, and chooses the category for the next round. In the event of a draw, the cards are placed in the centre and a new category is chosen from the next card by the same person as in the previous round. The winner of that round obtains all of the cards in the centre as well as the top card from each player. Players are eliminated when they lose their last card, and the winner is the player who obtains the whole pack. Some variants of the rules allow 'three card pick', whereby a player who has only three cards remaining is allowed to choose any of their three cards to play with. Typically, this lengthens the game considerably.
