Crammed with more facts and stats than you can fit in a people carrier, the pack has been written and developed with the aid of the Top Gear Magazine team and just as you'd expect from the Top Gear crew, it's a little tongue in cheek, a little irreverent, but fast and furious nonetheless. 6 Years +

Top gear top trumps, 05 Dec 2007
I saw this item on Amazon and instantly jumped up with joy.
I've just ordered them and I cannot wait till I get them. I'm a huge fan of top trumps games as they are enjoyable and can be played with the whole family. I especially love motor top trumps.
This item would be a must have for all top gear fanatics like myself.
Un beatable combination, 30 Nov 2007
Not just Top Trumps but Top Gear as well - this is an ideal stocking filler or easy to carry amusement for a train / plane trip that will appeal instantly to fans of the TV show but is still fine for all to play
Fantastic Gift, 27 Nov 2007
A must for Top Gear fans....the nutter who reviewed and gave 1 star is quite simply clueless and has no idea what top trumps are all about...
WAKE UP CATMANDOO!!!!, 26 Nov 2007
I read the review from Catmandoo and to say I was not happy was a under statement. I do not believe that anybody who is walking today has not played or heard of Top Trumps. This game has been around for donkeys years why write a review and slag the product off when you apparantly know nothing about it. If you haven't played or heard of Top Trumps just ask any kids that live down your street they will put you right.
Why write a review when you don't know what you're writing it for?, 21 Nov 2007
I have to leap to the defence of Top Trumps after the reviewer who gave it 1 star has had their say. They have obviously got no idea what the game is all about and I consider it most unhelpful of them to then give the game a 1 star review. Top Trumps has largely been responsible for teaching my reluctant reader son how to read, and I'm sure there are many other children out there who are now engaging in reading thanks to these cards. The knowledge they impart about the topic they are covering is an added bonus too. My son (5) has enjoyed playing with his friends, dad (40) and grandpa (70), so I would also add that it's a game for all ages.
For those who aren't familiar with the game, split the pack between you and a friend(s), play the cards in order, choose your category and try and beat your oponents with your score. If you win take their card, if you lose you have to hand yours over until someone has won them all. Simple and fun.

Great Airport Fun!, 27 Nov 2008
This is fine, fun game thats small and portable and is BRILLIANT to stick into your hand luggage for playing at the airport!
Pretty simple to pick up (I'd suggest a couple of trial games will be enough to get you going) and great fun to play in groups of pretty much any age.
And for under a fiver, you really have nothing to lose. Enjoy!
Fun, easy to pick up, 13 Nov 2008
This was very easy to learn, although we did have to refer to the instructions a few times during the first few games as we were unsure about how to play the action cards.
It is quite an addictive games, especially as just as you think you are about to win, along comes a "pick up 4 cards" card...but fun rather than frustrating as it did not go on and on as some games like this can. I would recommend this for any journey or family afternoon together as I am sure my 7 and 4 year old could play with help.
Excellent game for all the family, 24 Oct 2008
Amazing that this game has been around in the States for some time but I hadn't seen it in the UK until Amazon Vine introduced it to me. Not sure how as I have four children between 21 and 6!
It's easy to see why the game is so popular. The rules are simple, the game play is always different and there's an element of skill involved.
The deck is made up of 4 different coloured suits, each suit has the numbers 0-9 and "trump cards". One of the trump cards will reverse the order of play, another will prevent the next person from their turn, and another will also stop the next person from playing as well as forcing them to pick up two additional cards. There are two types of wild cards, one which simply represents any colour whereas the second forces the next player to lose their turn as well as picking up 4 cards. These cards also represent any colour.
Uno is a great game! As Uno games don't normally last very long it is great as those with short attention spans won't opt out. I would recommend Uno to anyone who likes a good game of cards that involves all the family.
a simple yet good fun game, 21 Jul 2008
My son really like this game and i enjoy playing it with him. He is 9 years old but i guess you could play this with a younger child if you wanted.
What is particularly good is the portability of this game - it can be played virtually anywhere. This makes it particularly good for journeys.
FUN - ENTERTAINING - CHEAP - AMUSING , 06 Jul 2008
The game is so simple yet so much fun straight out of the packet, if you like fun simple card games with standard decks of cards then this is right up your alley! The action cards are what make this game so fun to play, just when your opponent is going to get rid of their last card you may be able to pull a fast one with an action card before they get there go...
This is also great to teach the kids about numbers and colours from an early age. This will definitely make your little ones competitive too. You can play with 2 people but the more the merrier.
The simple games are always the most fun. Give it a go and see how much fun shouting UNO actually is.

Another classic Top Trumps pack, 20 Nov 2008
My daughter loves Top Trumps and is mad about horses. Obviously, this colours my review!
The photos of all the horse breeds are good quality and nicely down with both a mini pic of the whole horse and the large picture mainly of the head. The categories are interesting and pretty accurate although a little subjective in places! The category regarding the horse's relative beauty has caused some fierce debate in our house.. The addition of a unicorn and a pegasus also proved a little contraversial and became coveted cards for our 5 yr old (who wants to be a unicorn when she grows up...)
So, while the horses and stats are a little light hearted, it is a lot of fun and will be popular with all horse loving kids out there. I would imagine it would also appeal to horse loving teenagers too.
Great present for school friends or as a stocking filler.

I just spent the evening playing this with friends (including the 10 year-old son of one of my friends), and we all had a great time. It's a very addictive game, and we couldn't get enough! It's definitely a good social game and is a nice twist on the original. I'd definitely recommend it, whether you've played Uno before or not.
Fun for all the family, 12 Apr 2008
We played this at our friends house on New Years Eve. What a hoot! It was great fun and everyone could join in. Got quite competitive towards the end of the evening!!

The whole family really enjoys this game. Excellent fun. Even our four year old can join in with a little help. This game has had constant use since Christmas, with no sign of anyone being bored with it yet! We highly recomend it as a good "great fun" all round family game.
Great fun , 27 Jan 2008
I bought this item after reading the reviews, once you get used to the meaning of the cards, it is a brilliant and addictive game. My 5 year old loves it and picked up the rules quicker than we did. He even plays strategically ... and beats us! Definitely one to buy.
Fabulous fun for all the family, 15 Dec 2007
This game is great. We have spent many hours playing it. The girls are in hysterics when 6 cards come flying out of the machine.
The only downside we have found is that when the cards get a bit worn they re difficult to fit in the machine and also we have found with age the cards start to stick in the machine.
Otherwise overall a great game

This game is great. We have spent many hours playing it. The girls are in hysterics when 6 cards come flying out of the machine.
The only downside we have found is that when the cards get a bit worn they re difficult to fit in the machine and also we have found with age the cards start to stick in the machine.
Otherwise overall a great game

Top gear top trumps, 05 Dec 2007
I saw this item on Amazon and instantly jumped up with joy.
I've just ordered them and I cannot wait till I get them. I'm a huge fan of top trumps games as they are enjoyable and can be played with the whole family. I especially love motor top trumps.
This item would be a must have for all top gear fanatics like myself.
Un beatable combination, 30 Nov 2007
Not just Top Trumps but Top Gear as well - this is an ideal stocking filler or easy to carry amusement for a train / plane trip that will appeal instantly to fans of the TV show but is still fine for all to play
Fantastic Gift, 27 Nov 2007
A must for Top Gear fans....the nutter who reviewed and gave 1 star is quite simply clueless and has no idea what top trumps are all about...
WAKE UP CATMANDOO!!!!, 26 Nov 2007
I read the review from Catmandoo and to say I was not happy was a under statement. I do not believe that anybody who is walking today has not played or heard of Top Trumps. This game has been around for donkeys years why write a review and slag the product off when you apparantly know nothing about it. If you haven't played or heard of Top Trumps just ask any kids that live down your street they will put you right.
Why write a review when you don't know what you're writing it for?, 21 Nov 2007
I have to leap to the defence of Top Trumps after the reviewer who gave it 1 star has had their say. They have obviously got no idea what the game is all about and I consider it most unhelpful of them to then give the game a 1 star review. Top Trumps has largely been responsible for teaching my reluctant reader son how to read, and I'm sure there are many other children out there who are now engaging in reading thanks to these cards. The knowledge they impart about the topic they are covering is an added bonus too. My son (5) has enjoyed playing with his friends, dad (40) and grandpa (70), so I would also add that it's a game for all ages.
For those who aren't familiar with the game, split the pack between you and a friend(s), play the cards in order, choose your category and try and beat your oponents with your score. If you win take their card, if you lose you have to hand yours over until someone has won them all. Simple and fun.
Great Airport Fun!, 27 Nov 2008
This is fine, fun game thats small and portable and is BRILLIANT to stick into your hand luggage for playing at the airport!
Pretty simple to pick up (I'd suggest a couple of trial games will be enough to get you going) and great fun to play in groups of pretty much any age.
And for under a fiver, you really have nothing to lose. Enjoy!
Fun, easy to pick up, 13 Nov 2008
This was very easy to learn, although we did have to refer to the instructions a few times during the first few games as we were unsure about how to play the action cards.
It is quite an addictive games, especially as just as you think you are about to win, along comes a "pick up 4 cards" card...but fun rather than frustrating as it did not go on and on as some games like this can. I would recommend this for any journey or family afternoon together as I am sure my 7 and 4 year old could play with help.
Excellent game for all the family, 24 Oct 2008
Amazing that this game has been around in the States for some time but I hadn't seen it in the UK until Amazon Vine introduced it to me. Not sure how as I have four children between 21 and 6!
It's easy to see why the game is so popular. The rules are simple, the game play is always different and there's an element of skill involved.
The deck is made up of 4 different coloured suits, each suit has the numbers 0-9 and "trump cards". One of the trump cards will reverse the order of play, another will prevent the next person from their turn, and another will also stop the next person from playing as well as forcing them to pick up two additional cards. There are two types of wild cards, one which simply represents any colour whereas the second forces the next player to lose their turn as well as picking up 4 cards. These cards also represent any colour.
Uno is a great game! As Uno games don't normally last very long it is great as those with short attention spans won't opt out. I would recommend Uno to anyone who likes a good game of cards that involves all the family.
a simple yet good fun game, 21 Jul 2008
My son really like this game and i enjoy playing it with him. He is 9 years old but i guess you could play this with a younger child if you wanted.
What is particularly good is the portability of this game - it can be played virtually anywhere. This makes it particularly good for journeys.
FUN - ENTERTAINING - CHEAP - AMUSING , 06 Jul 2008
The game is so simple yet so much fun straight out of the packet, if you like fun simple card games with standard decks of cards then this is right up your alley! The action cards are what make this game so fun to play, just when your opponent is going to get rid of their last card you may be able to pull a fast one with an action card before they get there go...
This is also great to teach the kids about numbers and colours from an early age. This will definitely make your little ones competitive too. You can play with 2 people but the more the merrier.
The simple games are always the most fun. Give it a go and see how much fun shouting UNO actually is.
Another classic Top Trumps pack, 20 Nov 2008
My daughter loves Top Trumps and is mad about horses. Obviously, this colours my review!
The photos of all the horse breeds are good quality and nicely down with both a mini pic of the whole horse and the large picture mainly of the head. The categories are interesting and pretty accurate although a little subjective in places! The category regarding the horse's relative beauty has caused some fierce debate in our house.. The addition of a unicorn and a pegasus also proved a little contraversial and became coveted cards for our 5 yr old (who wants to be a unicorn when she grows up...)
So, while the horses and stats are a little light hearted, it is a lot of fun and will be popular with all horse loving kids out there. I would imagine it would also appeal to horse loving teenagers too.
Great present for school friends or as a stocking filler.
Great fun!, 14 Nov 2008
I just spent the evening playing this with friends (including the 10 year-old son of one of my friends), and we all had a great time. It's a very addictive game, and we couldn't get enough! It's definitely a good social game and is a nice twist on the original. I'd definitely recommend it, whether you've played Uno before or not.
Fun for all the family, 12 Apr 2008
We played this at our friends house on New Years Eve. What a hoot! It was great fun and everyone could join in. Got quite competitive towards the end of the evening!!

The whole family really enjoys this game. Excellent fun. Even our four year old can join in with a little help. This game has had constant use since Christmas, with no sign of anyone being bored with it yet! We highly recomend it as a good "great fun" all round family game.

Match Attax Strikes Back, 23 Nov 2008
Good for Match Attax collectors. I got some good cards in this pack. But a little bit expensive.
Not worth the money, 28 Nov 2008
Once you get the idea of how to play (i.e.read a list questions to someone and they mustn't say "yes" or "no"), you may as well do it yourself with little imagination and a timer.
Some of the subject matter is out of date too e.g. Margaret Thatcher is mentioned on one of the cards. For a game rated as age 6 upwards, there are a lot of cards that are not relevant for the young generation.
Its a shame as its a good concept.
Yes No Game, 03 Jan 2006
Fab game, lots of fun for all the family. Ask the questions really quickly and in different tones makes it more fun. Played it several times now and it still has us in stitches!

Superb educational game, 07 Dec 2007
My six year old son has astounded me with this game. Not only can he beat me hands down at it, he has memorised all the info contained in the cards.
This simple little game has fired up his imagination and play is often interupted by questions on weight, height etc as well as the expected history and dinosaur queries. He has played this game so often, the cards have become a little dog-eared (to the point where he can recognise my cards from the bends and marks and chose a category that he knows he can trump me with!) So in the interest of fair play, I am buying him a new set.
I thoroughly recommend this game, along with the Space Top Trumps. For a few pounds you will have a fun, educational game that your child will never get bored with.
Dinoman?, 23 Apr 2006
I really like this one.
Not quite up there with the "Horror" top trumps (a must have for those long airport check in's) but really good nevertheless. A fantastic way to re-learn all those dinosaur names, or to scratch your chin over others and wonder whether when you were seven you ever did read about a 'Gigantosaurus' or whether to make up numbers in a pack of top trumps ...
But really good - with the exception of the one card which you can remove (I think he is called 'Dinoman'); in the 'further information' section (a feature I really like) he is described as "what the velociraptors might have evolved into" (!!?). This is a silly card for obvious reasons, but once you have removed that piece of chaff you have a class act.
Top Choice of Top Trumps Triumphs, 03 Sep 2003
This is a great, and classic game. Many children grow up still enjoying a good game of TOP TRUMPS. As for the dinosaurs pack, it is by far one of the best and easily on par with MARVEL ACTION HEROES. The pictures are suprisingly detailed and the facts vary, some data given is debatable but that doesnt interfere with a general enjoyment of the game, made all the better for the facts at the bottom of the cards. The cards themselves are glossy and sterdy, hard to bend or crease by accident and the fitted plastic case supplied keeps these TOP TRUMPS in TOP condition.

Some of the subject matter is out of date too e.g. Margaret Thatcher is mentioned on one of the cards. For a game rated as age 6 upwards, there are a lot of cards that are not relevant for the young generation.
Its a shame as its a good concept.
Yes No Game, 03 Jan 2006
Fab game, lots of fun for all the family. Ask the questions really quickly and in different tones makes it more fun. Played it several times now and it still has us in stitches!
Superb educational game, 07 Dec 2007
My six year old son has astounded me with this game. Not only can he beat me hands down at it, he has memorised all the info contained in the cards.
This simple little game has fired up his imagination and play is often interupted by questions on weight, height etc as well as the expected history and dinosaur queries. He has played this game so often, the cards have become a little dog-eared (to the point where he can recognise my cards from the bends and marks and chose a category that he knows he can trump me with!) So in the interest of fair play, I am buying him a new set.
I thoroughly recommend this game, along with the Space Top Trumps. For a few pounds you will have a fun, educational game that your child will never get bored with.
Dinoman?, 23 Apr 2006
I really like this one.
Not quite up there with the "Horror" top trumps (a must have for those long airport check in's) but really good nevertheless. A fantastic way to re-learn all those dinosaur names, or to scratch your chin over others and wonder whether when you were seven you ever did read about a 'Gigantosaurus' or whether to make up numbers in a pack of top trumps ...
But really good - with the exception of the one card which you can remove (I think he is called 'Dinoman'); in the 'further information' section (a feature I really like) he is described as "what the velociraptors might have evolved into" (!!?). This is a silly card for obvious reasons, but once you have removed that piece of chaff you have a class act.
Top Choice of Top Trumps Triumphs, 03 Sep 2003
This is a great, and classic game. Many children grow up still enjoying a good game of TOP TRUMPS. As for the dinosaurs pack, it is by far one of the best and easily on par with MARVEL ACTION HEROES. The pictures are suprisingly detailed and the facts vary, some data given is debatable but that doesnt interfere with a general enjoyment of the game, made all the better for the facts at the bottom of the cards. The cards themselves are glossy and sterdy, hard to bend or crease by accident and the fitted plastic case supplied keeps these TOP TRUMPS in TOP condition.
Very Good, 04 Apr 2007

Customer Reviews
Top gear top trumps, 05 Dec 2007
I saw this item on Amazon and instantly jumped up with joy.
I've just ordered them and I cannot wait till I get them. I'm a huge fan of top trumps games as they are enjoyable and can be played with the whole family. I especially love motor top trumps.
This item would be a must have for all top gear fanatics like myself.
Un beatable combination, 30 Nov 2007
Not just Top Trumps but Top Gear as well - this is an ideal stocking filler or easy to carry amusement for a train / plane trip that will appeal instantly to fans of the TV show but is still fine for all to play
Fantastic Gift, 27 Nov 2007
A must for Top Gear fans....the nutter who reviewed and gave 1 star is quite simply clueless and has no idea what top trumps are all about...
WAKE UP CATMANDOO!!!!, 26 Nov 2007
I read the review from Catmandoo and to say I was not happy was a under statement. I do not believe that anybody who is walking today has not played or heard of Top Trumps. This game has been around for donkeys years why write a review and slag the product off when you apparantly know nothing about it. If you haven't played or heard of Top Trumps just ask any kids that live down your street they will put you right.
Why write a review when you don't know what you're writing it for?, 21 Nov 2007
I have to leap to the defence of Top Trumps after the reviewer who gave it 1 star has had their say. They have obviously got no idea what the game is all about and I consider it most unhelpful of them to then give the game a 1 star review. Top Trumps has largely been responsible for teaching my reluctant reader son how to read, and I'm sure there are many other children out there who are now engaging in reading thanks to these cards. The knowledge they impart about the topic they are covering is an added bonus too. My son (5) has enjoyed playing with his friends, dad (40) and grandpa (70), so I would also add that it's a game for all ages.
For those who aren't familiar with the game, split the pack between you and a friend(s), play the cards in order, choose your category and try and beat your oponents with your score. If you win take their card, if you lose you have to hand yours over until someone has won them all. Simple and fun.
Great Airport Fun!, 27 Nov 2008
This is fine, fun game thats small and portable and is BRILLIANT to stick into your hand luggage for playing at the airport!
Pretty simple to pick up (I'd suggest a couple of trial games will be enough to get you going) and great fun to play in groups of pretty much any age.
And for under a fiver, you really have nothing to lose. Enjoy!
Fun, easy to pick up, 13 Nov 2008
This was very easy to learn, although we did have to refer to the instructions a few times during the first few games as we were unsure about how to play the action cards.
It is quite an addictive games, especially as just as you think you are about to win, along comes a "pick up 4 cards" card...but fun rather than frustrating as it did not go on and on as some games like this can. I would recommend this for any journey or family afternoon together as I am sure my 7 and 4 year old could play with help.
Excellent game for all the family, 24 Oct 2008
Amazing that this game has been around in the States for some time but I hadn't seen it in the UK until Amazon Vine introduced it to me. Not sure how as I have four children between 21 and 6!
It's easy to see why the game is so popular. The rules are simple, the game play is always different and there's an element of skill involved.
The deck is made up of 4 different coloured suits, each suit has the numbers 0-9 and "trump cards". One of the trump cards will reverse the order of play, another will prevent the next person from their turn, and another will also stop the next person from playing as well as forcing them to pick up two additional cards. There are two types of wild cards, one which simply represents any colour whereas the second forces the next player to lose their turn as well as picking up 4 cards. These cards also represent any colour.
Uno is a great game! As Uno games don't normally last very long it is great as those with short attention spans won't opt out. I would recommend Uno to anyone who likes a good game of cards that involves all the family.
a simple yet good fun game, 21 Jul 2008
My son really like this game and i enjoy playing it with him. He is 9 years old but i guess you could play this with a younger child if you wanted.
What is particularly good is the portability of this game - it can be played virtually anywhere. This makes it particularly good for journeys.
FUN - ENTERTAINING - CHEAP - AMUSING , 06 Jul 2008
The game is so simple yet so much fun straight out of the packet, if you like fun simple card games with standard decks of cards then this is right up your alley! The action cards are what make this game so fun to play, just when your opponent is going to get rid of their last card you may be able to pull a fast one with an action card before they get there go...
This is also great to teach the kids about numbers and colours from an early age. This will definitely make your little ones competitive too. You can play with 2 people but the more the merrier.
The simple games are always the most fun. Give it a go and see how much fun shouting UNO actually is.
Another classic Top Trumps pack, 20 Nov 2008
My daughter loves Top Trumps and is mad about horses. Obviously, this colours my review!
The photos of all the horse breeds are good quality and nicely down with both a mini pic of the whole horse and the large picture mainly of the head. The categories are interesting and pretty accurate although a little subjective in places! The category regarding the horse's relative beauty has caused some fierce debate in our house.. The addition of a unicorn and a pegasus also proved a little contraversial and became coveted cards for our 5 yr old (who wants to be a unicorn when she grows up...)
So, while the horses and stats are a little light hearted, it is a lot of fun and will be popular with all horse loving kids out there. I would imagine it would also appeal to horse loving teenagers too.
Great present for school friends or as a stocking filler.
Great fun!, 14 Nov 2008
I just spent the evening playing this with friends (including the 10 year-old son of one of my friends), and we all had a great time. It's a very addictive game, and we couldn't get enough! It's definitely a good social game and is a nice twist on the original. I'd definitely recommend it, whether you've played Uno before or not.
Fun for all the family, 12 Apr 2008
We played this at our friends house on New Years Eve. What a hoot! It was great fun and everyone could join in. Got quite competitive towards the end of the evening!!
extreme fun, 25 Feb 2008
The whole family really enjoys this game. Excellent fun. Even our four year old can join in with a little help. This game has had constant use since Christmas, with no sign of anyone being bored with it yet! We highly recomend it as a good "great fun" all round family game.
