Does anybody know where I can buy these in the Sheffield (SE) area? Apparently they are all the rage at the moment and many shops are sold out.
:help:

They were all the rage 28 years ago too

I had a box featuring yachts as I remember

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a trump card? I had visions of people trumping and then those in the immediate vicinity holding up a trump card to indicate its depth, volume, viscosity, etc. But then Louise mentioned cards with yachts on. Were they used to indicate wind velocity?

Have you gone back in time to the 80's or are they selling them again? :? 8)

Top trumps are GREAT! I love them, i was so happy to get my set of DJ top trumps on the front of a magazine.

Not sure where to find them though.

I used to have top trump cards when I were a nippa.

They were fab!

Yep they were all the rage when I was a kid too, and my kids have some now.

Explanation of game

Say you had a set of say Cars, there would be cars with various specs......

Say
Ferrari
Top Speed 212Mph
Gears 5
BHP - Lots
and so on

Skoda
Top Speed 85MPH
Gears 6
BHP - Not much
Blah blah blah

you would then play against your partner choosing a catagory, the one with the highest spec wins the other card, winner is one with all cards.


As to where to get them Mo - any good toy shop will sell them. I bought some from Big W on Parkway.

Hope that helps

Is it just me, or do these things seem to be on an infinate cycle? The cycle seems to go something like; marbles, yo-yos, top trumps, (repeat ad-infinitum).

Anyone still have the Coca Cola, Fanta, Sprite Yo-Yo's?

Or the Coca-Cola Gold Yo Yo?

They were brill!

Seems that they are the current 'must have' in the playground. Everywhere I've been has been sold out. :cry:

Yep, spent much time playing all the differnt ones...

Football Players
Fighter Jets
Cars
Boats
etc

I've Tried Ebay And They Only Seem To Have The More Recent Packs Of The Game For Sale.Any Ideas?:help:

WHSmiths
and
Soccer World

Kids Love them :banana: (I do too!):thumbsup: :)

I used to love them when I was a kid. I had the fighter jets one and a set to do with cars as well. Used to play allsorts though, my favourite set was a super hero one, where the Silver Surfer kicked everyone’s ass (apart from one figure)! Oh the memories.

Thats the point of the game :). Remembering the top scores and where the good scores are allow you to plot your percentages and hence allow you to win. Its a great game for kids for that reason I think, bit of mental exercise over the long summer holiday.
