Top Trumps is a 1 or 2 player game consisting of a number of cards, each containing five items of information relating to the subject of the card, for example with a set of cards relating to performance cars you might have top speed, acceleration, power etc.
The current player must then choose an item of information that they think will beat their opponent, for example using the set of performance car related cards, if the current player has a top speed of 250mph, it is unlikely that the opponents card will have a faster top speed.
It is not always the higher figure that wins however, for if you consider the cars again, if one car is lighter than another then it wins.
