Manufacturer's Description
Ahhhh, this has to be the cutest Top Trumps pack ever! This is man's best friend at his very best. Anyone who's anyone in the canine world is celebrated in true Top Trumps style, from Beagles to Bulldogs and Chihuahuas to Chow Chows! See how your favourite pooch scores on categories including Weight, Height, Guard Dog Skill, Rarity and Loveability. So cute you'll want to take it to bed and cuddle it!

Top Trumps has been played since the 1970s when the first packs took the playgrounds of the UK by storm. And its success is partly due to how easy and compelling it is to play: shuffle and deal all the cards face down. Each player takes their cards and holds them so that they can see the top card only. The player to the dealer's left starts by reading out a selected statistic (e.g. Weight or Speed). The other players then read out the same statistic from their own top cards. The player with the best or highest value wins and places all the top cards including their own to the bottom of their own pile. It is then that player's turn to choose a statistic from the next card. If two or more cards share the top value or data is unavailable for that statistic, then all the top cards are placed in the middle and the same player chooses from the next card. The winner of that hand takes all the cards from the middle as well. The person with all the cards at the end is the winner, easy.

Customer Reviews

Top Dog !
I bought a set of these for our 6 year old for his seventh birthday, and you know the story, the more expensive presents hardly got played with, but these cards I am not surprised that they are not dog eared (pardon the pun).

The cards are quite well made, not flimsy cheap card the printing and pictures excellent. Plus they are quite educational, which also helps, as afterall if the child is having fun playing, they sometimes don't realise just how much knowledge they have gained, but ask a simple question about one of the Dogs a few days later and you will be amazed at just what they have picked up.

They have been played with non-stop, I didn't play these with our daughter the first time they came out, and I have now seen what I have missed out on. Even I have tried to play the game, you should try them!

All we heard in the car on a very long journey were questions about the dogs, these were being asked backwards and forwards, I think I know more about the weights and different breeds of dogs than ever. At least it stops the question of 'are we there yet?' I would glady buy another set of these cards (have noticed that there are different categories) as they really do stop the boredom from setting in, plus you don't need a table or surface, (could cut that time of boredom at the airport departure lounge, or anywhere else there is likely to be a delay).

Great cheap stocking fillers and something that all ages can play, can get the more girlie type categories for girls, or the boyish ones, so basically something for everyone including adults. Useful to have in over the Christmas/summer holidays when people get together maybe of different ages, as age six to teenagers can play happily whilst the adults can talk or whatever.

Also make a great pocket money treat gift, as small children could soon save the amount of the cost of these cards, and get a worthwhile treat that will last for a long time, and for under £4.00 that is not bad.

The first card is the best in my opinion as it is of a Beagle, of which we have one called Scooby and yes Beagles really do have big slobbery tongues.

One for the Kids.
I seem to have missed out on playing this game as a child. I've now finally purchased it and although the info on the cards and the pictures are all excellent i do think it's a game for the kids not adults - oops!! I'm sure though it will help to pass the time whilst flying to OZ!

The Dog - Top Trumps
The whole family enjoy playing Top Trumps and we find them particularly good on a car journey. As long as the cards all go back in at the end of the game the solid plastic box is excellent for storage. Interesting for learning about the different dog breeds, although I did feel that a lot of the pictures of the dogs were taken from obscure angles!
