Top Choice of Top Trumps TriumphsSeptember 3, 2003 Tom(United Kingdom) 29 out of 31 found this review helpful
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.
Dinoman?April 23, 2006 Dinoman(London) 12 out of 12 found this review helpful
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.
Superb educational gameDecember 7, 2007 Mummywhere'smy...(Scotland) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
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.
