Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
Top Trumps is a wildly successful card game that plays out a little like War.
Each card has a series of statistics. On your turn, you look at your top card and call out a stat (typically the highest one on your top card), and the player whose top card has the highest value in that stat wins the “trick”.
Top Trumps has sold over 40 million cards, and has been licensed up the Wazoo. That’s not entirely bad, as some versions of the cards provide an opportunity for a slight amount of education. The latest deal is with Ripley’s Believe it or Not. (source)
