Top Trumps is a card game first published in 1978 by the British company Dubreq, in which each card in a themed deck carries a list of numerical statistics and players compare those values to try to trump and win an opponent's card. Winning Moves UK acquired the rights to the brand in 1992 and has published it continuously since. A typical game seats two to six players and runs for roughly thirty to sixty minutes, with the outcome influenced by the luck of the deal as much as by players' judgment of which statistic to call. Over its history the range has extended across hundreds of themed packs covering subjects such as vehicles, military hardware, wildlife, and entertainment franchises, making it as much a licensing vehicle as a single fixed game, though every pack shares the same core comparison mechanic that has kept it in continuous production since the 1970s.
