The Guardian’s set of British Band Top Trumps
The Guardian’s set of British Band Top Trumps is a dud in terms of production values - uneven cards, poor paper stock and you have to photocopy the newspaper in order to make a full pack. They get the mechanics of Top Trumps exactly right, though - arbitrary scoring and at least one category where the rankings are entirely baffling and it’s just an excuse to make favourite cards do better. (The “Killing Power” equivalent in this instance is “Style”). In Guardian-world, you might also notice, MCs don’t do “Gigs” - but then what’s a pack of Trumps without the raging arguments over what “N/A” counts as?
