I used to love watching the satirical puppet show Spitting Image. Featuring the outrageous caricatures of celebrities, royalty and politicians in puppet form was hilarious. Now, Top Trumps have teamed up with BritBox and Spitting Image and created a card game that is hilarious fun for adults to play.
If you are looking for a quick, simple and hilarious game to play with your friends, then I can recommend Top Trumps Spitting Image Limited Edition. Not only can you play a fun game, but you can find out who really who really rules the world or wants to (according to Spitting Image and Top Trumps).
Top Trumps Spitting Image is a Limited Edition deck of cards where you can pit Boris Johnson against Donald Trump, Meghan Markle against Kim Kardashian, or Vladimir Putin against Xi Jinping.
The plastic card storage and travel case comes with 30 Top Trumps cards, plus rules and instructions and features megalomaniac world leaders, members of British royalty, famous names from the world of entertainment and football among others famous and infamous names.
Top Trumps is a card game where players must try to better their opponents score from a category on the card. Choose from categories Heart Throb, Bank Balance, Shelf Life and World Domination. Is Joe Biden a bigger heart throb than Elon Musk? Does Billie Eilish have a larger bank balance than Ed Sheeran? Is the shelf life of Tyson Fury greater than that of Christiano Ronaldo? Is Greata Thunberg more intent on world domination than The Pope?
Top Trumps Spitting Image is a game for 2 or more players, more suited to adults, only due to the hilariously fun character bio’s on the cards. It is a very easy game to play.
- Shuffle cards and deal an equal number to each player
- Read a category and compare the answer with other players, the player with the highest number value wins all the cards in play and takes the next turn
- The player with all the cards at the end is the winner
Will your Priti Patel card beat your opponents Michael Gove or RuPaul card?
Overall, I love playing Top Trumps as it is a very simple and quick game to play. The Spitting Image version is hilarious with the comical character bio’s and fantastic Spitting Image character images.
It is a compact game that comes supplied in a limited edition pocket-sized plastic storage case that makes it extremely portable and is a game that can be played anywhere.
Pitting characters such as Jurgen Klopp up against Meghan Markle is fantastic fun.
Due to world events always changing, some of the cards are now outdated, with it having Prince Charles rather than King Charles and Rishi Sunak still as Chancellor, but that doesn’t take anything away from the spirit and fun of the game.
The cards themselves are of a very good quality – thick, durable and well-printed.
Top Trumps Spitting Image is a fun game that will keep players entertained with the game play of Keir Starmer trying to get one over Piers Morgan or Kim Kardashian battling it out with Prince Harry. And reading the character bio’s with leave all players laughing.
A hilarious fun, entertaining and competitive game.
