This is just a tiny fraction of all of the different sets which you can collect.
Game play
So as I mentioned earlier, you have four categories for each game. The categories will differ depending on which game set you are using.
You deal out all of the cards face down. Each person then holds their cards so that they can only see the top one of the cards in their hand. The person to the dealers left starts by reading out one of their stats from a category. For example, hospital beds 1,013. Then players in turn will say what they have for hospital beds on their top card. The player with the highest number of beds gets the cards from the other players which they put to the bottom of their pile including their own card which they have just played.
The person who won the round gets to go next. Play continues until only one person is left with all of the cards and they are the winner.
Opinions
Believe it or not, I had never actually played Top Trumps before. Everyone I have spoken to about it has apart from me it would seem! My husband is 46 and he said he remembers playing when we was ten so it must have been a game that has been around for a long time!
I liked it as it is easy to play and it is also really educational too. Faith loved it, especially as she has won a few games now! Darren said that he also really enjoys it too.
I liked the hospital cards as each card had a picture of the UK with a red dot to signify the location of the hospital so even I was learning while we were playing. I love the educational value of the game and I am looking into getting some more packs to use in our homeschool.
Extras
For every Britain at its best pack of Top Trumps sold, £1.50 is going to the NHS which I think is fantastic. You also get a card in your pack with a code so that if you collect five different packs you can claim a free pack which also encourages you to collect them all!
