Top Trumps

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Here is an example of a Top Trumps game

Top trumps is a card game. It is a game to play for at least two people. Top Trumps was published in 1978. Each card contains a list of numerical data and the aim of the game is to compare these values to try to trump and win an opponent's card. A wide variety of different packs of Top Trumps has been published.    

The goal of Top Trumps is to win the most rounds by having the highest-scoring card in each round.  One person begins by reading out a category such as Intelligence or Funniest and each players cards have a number rating of 1-100 on each category - Then the person with the highest number rating in top trumps wins. A pack of cards is based on a theme, such as cars, aircraft, books, boats, dinosaurs or characters from a popular film or television series.

The rarest is the Grandmamma card which no known Top Trumper has got and may not even exist.

The game is suitable for around 4 years upward.
