About the game
Top-A-Top is a simple and fast-playing party game in which players take turns placing their cards in the middle of the table and reacting appropriately to the funny pictures on the cards played, e.g., by making special gestures or saying something. Your reflexes and the ability to make associations are crucial. Your reaction has to be quick and appropriate or else you lose a turn and take all the cards on the table into your pile. The first player to get rid of all of his cards wins.
