Top Trumps

Gameplay

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.

History

Original games

Top Trumps was a popular children’s card game in the United Kingdom in the 1970s and 1980s, especially amongst boys, for whom it was a popular playground pastime. The topics tended to reflect this, and included military hardware, modes of transport and racing cars. The packs tended to be priced so that children could collect new packs by saving pocket money for a few weeks.

The original Top Trumps were launched in 1977, with eleven different packs published by a company called Dubreq, also known for the stylophone. Dubreq was taken over by Waddingtons in 1982, and they continued manufacturing packs until the early 1990s. The packs from this period are now collectible.

Winning Moves

Winning Moves’ Top Trumps logo design with the slogan ‘Collectible, Competitive, Compulsive!’. In many USA pack releases the slogan was changed to ‘The Worlds Coolest Card Game!’

Modern Relaunch

In 1999 the rights to the game were purchased by Winning Moves, who relaunched the game. The topics covered are more diverse, and include:

Vehicles: (Supercars, Racing Trucks, Motorbikes and Scooters)

Military Hardware: (Warships, Ultimate Military Jets)

Scientific: (Space Phenomena, Dinosaurs)

Engineering: (Skyscrapers)

Wildlife: (Predators, Sharks, Wildlife/Sealife in Danger)

Pets: (The Dog)

Sports: (Premier League Football, Cricket, Rugby, WWE Wrestling, NBA)

Entertainment: (Movie Stars, Punctuation, Smash Hits Pop Stars (x3), The X Factor)

Book Characters: (The World of Roald Dahl: Goodies and Baddies, Jacqueline Wilson)

Comics: (The Beano, Marvel Comic Heroes (x5), DC Super Heroes (x2))

Television Series: (The Simpsons (x4), 24, Top Gear, Little Britain, Buffy, Angel, Doctor Who (x4), Star Wars: Clone Wars, Power Rangers (x4))

Films: (The Lord of the Rings (x3), Star Wars (x5), Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter (x4), Transformers (x2), Disney Pixar)

Themed: (Horror, Halloween)

Winning Moves’ “The Dog” pack

In these new packs a description or biography of the item on each card is included, as well as the statistics and numerical data. The cards may deliver camouflaged learning, or learning through play, as reading about the facts on the cards, and enhancing memory and maths skills through the use of comparing the data, adds an educational benefit.

Many of the packs are, like their predecessors, becoming collectible, especially those sold for limited times (such as those associated with films), or which were specially commissioned as promotional packs.

The Top Trumps Juniors case which has a different style to the other cases

Winning Moves split their packs into categories based on licenses and the age range they are aimed at. The categories used include Classics (packs not requiring a license and those before Winning Moves started categorising their packs) Specials, (sold for more for reasons such as needing a license), Juniors (aimed at a younger audience. These only had 24 cards instead of the normal 30 and the cases are a different shape to normal (right)) and Limited Editions (packs which have a limited stock and are ‘For Big Kids’).

Winning Moves have also released some Collectors Edition packs including multiple packs in a set. The Collectors Editions include “The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy Gift Set” including the three Lord of the Rings decks and nine exclusive Super Top Trumps cards. A “Doctor Who 45 Years Of Time Travel” pack has also been released.

A “Wedding Pack” created for the director of Winning Moves, Tom Liddel, was distributed at his wedding. A very small number was produced, and the sentimental value to the limited owners renders the Wedding Pack the rarest pack.

There are multiple Football packs released each year. Every year, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are released. These are just slightly updated packs from the last one and are usually released with another club pack. In 2005, it was Newcastle United, in 2006 it was Tottenham Hotspur – To Dare Is To Do and in 2008 it is Hull City and Everton.

Winning Moves also released two Politicos packs. One in 2007 and one in 2008. These were given out at a Sky News Conference. They have such Politicians as Tony Blair and Gordon Brown in.

There have been two Ultimate Packs released by Winning Moves. These are the Red and the Black packs. The red one is older than the black and is now out of print. These were not available in shops and were only available by winning the Monthly Prize Draw on the Top Trumps Website.

Many of the newer packs (late 2008 onwards) have a Summit Challenge game on the reverse of the bar code card. These cards have questions with boxes to put your answers in on the information about the pack.

Iceland’s Top Trumps are owned by Nordic Games which is the sales department within Iceland. These packs are the same as the Winning Moves releases.

The Scottish packs are exactly the same as the UK packs. There have been some promotional packs given out in the Daily Record which is a Scottish newspaper. The packs so far are: Scottish Football The Club Collection (2007), Heroes of Scottish Football (2008), Max Speed Supercars (2009) and Marvel Ultimate Villains (2010).

Several booster packs of cards have been exclusively released in the United States, including two “Bugs” packs, which are due to become a standalone pack, “Incredible Instruments”, “Mysteries”, “Bronx Zoo” and “Oakland Zoo”. These were sold in eight-card booster packs, with a front title card – the two “zoo” packs were released in limited numbers as promotional materials for the two zoos. Another USA exclusive, Greek Mythology, released in the US.

Spain

Goliath Games produce Spain’s Top Trumps. They have an exclusive FC Barcelona pack.

United Arab Emirates

United Arab Emirates has release a very rare pack based on the animated TV series from there, Freej. This was only available in the UK through an occasional free gift and so it is very rare, even among collectors. They are distributed by Pluto Games but are still Winning Moves packs. It is, however, widely available in the UAE and so is not rare there.

Malta

Malta Winning moves had made a pack on Politics from Malta. This came with a special Smart Santa collector card which didn’t have stats on and was not a Top Trumps card. There is also a promotion with the pack for the first person who gets all cards in the pack signed by the people on each card to win 6 free flights, courtesy of Air Malta to any European destination.

Other Countries

Other Countries that Winning Moves make Top Trumps for are: Canada, France, Germany, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Denmark, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Turkey, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

Many countries only sell packs online and not in shops. A common place to buy these packs online is Amazon. A few countries have got Top Trumps shops online. These countries are: USA which delivers to Canada as well, France which delivers to Belgium and Germany as well, and also New Zealand.

Many countries have different cards in the packs that are also available in England. For example, in the US edition of horses, Morgan, Crillo and Mustang replace the cards Exmoor, Paso Fino and Unicorn in the UK edition. The US horses pack also has a totally different style compared to the UK pack. Also, front covers of packs are different. The Skyscrapers pack has a different cover in Germany, USA and the UK.

Super Top Trump Cards

A number of recent Top Trumps packs also have Super Top Trump (STT) cards issued for them. These additional cards are not available with the original pack, but can be found in related merchandise, events or promotions. For example, the popular US television series 24 has a Top Trumps pack available, but the STT card is only available with the purchase of special-stickered season 4 of 24 DVDs. Also, the popular UK television series Doctor Who has four Top Trumps packs, but the STT cards were only available with the purchase of season 2, 3 and 4 DVDs. One other Doctor Who Super Top Trump card was released with a very special edition of the Beano Magazine (a popular comic magazine in the UK). A number of STT cards were also made available free of charge to members of the Top Trumps club through its website. But in July 2006 membership became free and no further STT’s were issued from the website.

Super Top Trumps come from lots of places. Since they have stopped giving them out free to club members, they have been in DVDs, comics, magazines, newspapers, at special events and given out in promotions.

Grandmamma from Roald Dahl pack preview

Some STT cards are rarer than others. Most of the STT cards made available via the web tend to be relatively common, although some earlier ones from popular pack titles, such as the Nazgl (Lord of the Rings series) can attract relatively high prices. Cards made available in other promotional ways can be exceptionally rare. An example is the Grandmamma STT card for the Roald Dahl pack. It was only given out, free, to Scouts at a charity sleepover event in 2004. Very few of these are in circulation and they are difficult to obtain even through online auctions. Apparently even the owner of Winning Moves, Tom Liddell, does not have a copy of this card. It is thought by some members of the Top Trumps forum that the Grandmamma was never actually released, and that none are in circulation. Tom Liddell has refuted this belief. General consensus for years was that no information other than a blurry preview of this card existed, however in February 2008, the original designers of the card, Guppi, posted it much more legibly on their website under ‘Specials’ in their Top Trumps Portfolio. The Grandmamma card is often spelt as “Grandmama” but this has been disproved and it has officially got a double ‘M.

Super Top Trumps are not only released in the United Kingdom. There have been many overseas STTs released. There have also been booster packs of 2-10 cards given out.

In America, Super Top Trumps are called Supercards.

A Top Trumps Mug was also made that was yellow and had the words ‘Top Trumps’ written in red on it.

Pack exclusives

A few exclusive items came with packs. These are:

TARDIS case which came with the Doctor Who 45 Years Of Time Travel pack.

The TARDIS case for the Doctor Who 45 Years of Time Travel Pack

Reversible title card which came with the original Star Wars: Clone Wars pack. On one side was Jedi and the other side was Sith.

Glow-In-The-Dark cases which came with: The Simpsons Horror, Horror and Star Wars Clone Wars.

Glow-In-The-Dark writing and images on the actual cards, in the Ben 10, Horror, Star Wars: Clone Wars and The Simpsons Horror packs.

In many packs the backs of the cards can be put together as a puzzle. Some examples of this are in the Skyscrapers, Space, Wonders of the World, and many sports pack. These can form pictures of Football Stadiums, Landmarks, Maps, Sports Teams and a scale between different objects (such as Skyscrapers, and planets, in the Space pack).

Some of the card backs give extra information about subjects in the pack. For example the All Blacks pack has information about the history of the team and the Haka, while the Skyscrapers pack gives information about French ‘Spiderman’ Alain Robert.

In The X Factor pack, there are eight cards (Alexandra Burke, Austin Drage, Daniel Evans, Diana Vickers, Eoghan Quigg, JLS, Laura White, Rachel Hylton, Ruth Lorenzo and Scott Bruton) that have white discs in their X Factor score category that allow you to fill in what you think their score should be.

Top Trumps 3D

At a toy fair, Winning Moves revealed that they had started to make a Top Trumps 3D in which the pictures on the cards became 3D. A number of titles have been scheduled for release like this. You have to download the software and then use a Webcam to show the cards to. This brings a 3D image of the image on the card. You answer questions to show the 3D image. There are a number of packs coming out like this, the first was Bugs released in May 2009.

There are many things you can do with the 3D image that include making it move. You could make the 3D tarantula from Bugs move, dance, slide on ice, hunt and other things. For the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, you could drive Optimus Prime in truck mode and transform him to robot mode.

There are various Top Trumps Showcase cards released with the Hamleys 3D announcement event that can show you images. These include the spider (non moveable) Optimus prime (robot mode only, non moveable) and Wrestling arena with a fist coming through it (WWE). These can be used with the downloadable Hamleys Showcase content from the main site.

Winning Moves has been often criticised for releasing the pack but not releasing the 3D content for weeks after the release of the pack. This has led to outrage from buyers of the pack as they would expect the 3D content to be out the same time as the pack.

Activity Packs

Activity packs are another version of Top Trumps that have now replaced the old Juniors range. They have 24 cards, two of each, with one with stats and one with information. There are differences between the two pictures to play spot-the-difference with. There are also word searches, mazes and other activities based on the pack. They come in a tuck box instead of the plastic cases. They are based on things that young children would like to play with as young children is the primary market for these products.

Top Trumps Tournament

Top Trumps Tournament is a new type of Top Trumps that comes with 6 new Classics packs and a spinner to choose the pack to play. You put 6 packs of your choice into it and spin the spinner to decide which pack to play. The packs are: Movies, TV, Pop Stars, Top Toys, Sporting Heroes and WOW. The WOW pack is wonders of the world. All of the packs come in tuck boxes instead of plastic cases. It was released in October 2009.

There is also a Star Wars version of this featuring all of the Star Wars packs created by Winning Moves up until the point of release. This is available at HMV only until January 2010. It has, however, appeared on play.com as well, whether Winning moves allowed this or not is unknown. The Star Wars Tournament also comes with a new Star Wars pack, Star Wars: 30 Greatest Moments with a card for each greatest moment in the films.

A FIFA World Cup and Marvel tournaments are also scheduled for release in 2010, featuring 6 exclusive packs each.

iPhone Top Trumps

Mid 2009, it was announced that Winning Moves have been in discussions with parties to try and create a version of Top Trumps for the iPhone. A Ben 10 version was released February 2010, available for download off the App Store.

Shop Exclusive Packs

There are some packs that are only exclusive to one shop. These are:

Cars only available in the Disney Store. This is a full deck compared to the other Activity Pack by Winning Moves.

Michael Jackson only available at HMV.

Top Trumps Tournament Star Wars edition only available at HMV until January 1, 2010.

Non-Winning Moves Packs

Several unofficial copies of the game have been made, both as commercial card games and online gaming sites. The BBC web site has Top Trumps variants with themes of snooker, Buffy, Doctor Who and EastEnders. Top Mates is a popular variation that allows you to make and order your own packs. Citadel Combat Cards were a similar card game from early 1990s with photographs of various Games Workshop models. Originally based on Warhammer Fantasy Battle models, later included Warhammer 40K cards as well.

There are also at least three educational variations of the game: Cell Trumps from Centre of the Cell, Tree Trumps from Forestry Commission (as an interactive exhibit in the Glenmore Visitor Centre and as a card game available in some Forestry Commission Scotland giftshops) and Timber Trumps from Napier University. Timber Trumps was, for the first few days, originally called Tree Trumps and is currently listed under this name on Channel4’s Games website.

Other variations include card games that include data about specific topics. Safari Pals packs include animal data on each card so that trump style games can be played in addition to other traditional game variations included Rummy, Quartets (card game) and Go Fish. The Royal Society of Chemistry has produced a pack of Visual Elements Trumps, using element data for play.

There have been lots of other packs before Winning Moves took over. These have been made by Waddingtons, Dubreq, Ace and many other companies up until 1999. These packs are usually rarer than the newer Winning Moves packs as they are much older.

Companies sometimes create their own decks of cards based on their areas of expertise using the same style as Top Trumps. This is often used as promotional material or free gifts.
