Top Trumps (TT) is based on an early card game War. War was a card game for two or more players. It uses a standard Anglo-American playing card deck. TT has taken the concept and added six abilities to each card, each with a number associated with it. When it is your turn you pick an ability from your top card and read the number off it. All other players read out the same ability number from their cards, and the person with the highest ability score wins all the cards from that hand. Simple.
What makes TT so appealing is that each deck is a different licensed brands. Players can pick their favourite movie, comic, sport, etc (they even have a horses and ponies deck!!!)
