Top TrumpsWonders of the World Card Game

Great set of top trumps - kids (and adults) don't realise they're learning lots of interesting facts about wonders of the world as they're playing. Makes a great stocking filler and small gift. Fun, educational and anyone can play.

Nice top trumps game! Was a great conversation starter for our children as they rated things differently to the cards.

Note to self: read the info properly. I thought this would be about the ancient wonders of the world, but no, it's about natural wonders: the grand canyon, Mt Everest etc. But, I can't blame the product for my foolishness.Probably the most important criterion is: does my daughter enjoy playing this game? answer: yes she does.But if you remember top trumps from the 70s when it was all cars, aircraft and tanks, well things have come along a bit since then! In those days the categories were nice factual stuff like 'number of cylinders' or 'wingspan'. Here, owing to the fact that you're not really comparing like with like, you get arbitrary things like 'danger' and 'wonder', and things that aren't necessarily all that relevant, like 'temperature' and 'flight time from London'. The last category is an odd combination of 'height/depth'.All that being said, it still plays fine, and you get snippets of additional information about each wonder, which adds to the educational value. The games can drag on a bit though - I've rarely been so tempted to lose on purpose just to get it over with!

Bought this to pass the time with my wife on the plane on our ways to China and Japan. We were very excited to find Guilin's reed flute caves there as we were headed that way. The categories include distance from London which was very interesting, and each card includes a little tick-box that you can tick when you've been to that place. Obviously, being top trumps, the game does get a bit old after half an hour if you're of a certain age (hmm... let me see, I could play for hours at 20! but that was with mates at university, bored out of our skulls...) It's a good pack for families and back-packers.

If you have a boy or girl that is keen to learn about the world and enjoys being competitive then they will love Top Trumps. A rite of passage! This pack will teach them about there fascinating world. Good value, great for that holiday where you only have room to pack a small amount of toys and great fun for the whole family, learning together!

My grandson should be writing this review as he loves Top Trumps and learns a lot from playing the game. Easily portable and good fun
