Guilty pleasures - Top Trumps

Everyone has something. Everyone has something they are addicted to. Their guilty pleasure. There is seemingly no logic to it. It makes you feel happy so you return to your secret addiction time & time again.

As long as it isn't harmful to your health, then hey, go for it. Bad addictions are Alcohol, Crack Cocaine and Temple Run. Stay away from these or the BIG THREE as they are sometimes known.

Well, my guilty pleasure is the game of Top Trumps. Did you guess?

It's not just for kids. It's educational. That's what I keep telling myself and it's true. It is. It definitely is. Yeah. Shut up. It is.

How else would I have learnt that a Peregrine Falcon can fly at 200mph or the gestation period for a Camel is 15 months? How else would I have known how tall Daley Thompson is or if Mother Doomfinger was more intelligent than Doctor Who? You see, I wouldn't have. These are all very important pieces of information. Very important.

Top Trumps is a game where each player is dealt an equal number of cards. Player one selects one category on the card out of normally 5. The highest score wins. For example, Michael Jackson: Dance Skills 100, Boris Johnson: Dance Skills 2.. Jackson wins, winning player takes both cards. Should Player 2 win the round, then they choose the next category on the next card. The game ends when one player has amassed all the cards.

Below is Darth Vader verses Roger Black... although I think 2 packs of cards may have got mixed up.



More packs are being added all the time at http://www.toptrumps.co.uk/ , so you're bound to find some subject you're interested in. I'm personally hanging out for Bond Girls. Erm, for educational purposes again.

Did I tell you that the Moon is 384,402 Km away from London? Well it is. Share a cab to reduce the fare.
