About the game
This game takes the Top Trumps mechanic, and turns it into a big game. Try to fill your scorebar first, by winning games from mini Top Trumps games. Spin the spinner to decide which mini-game you play, then spin the spinner again to decide which of the six decks you play the game with - you can use the 6 decks provided, or any of your own decks. Every time you win a game you win one or two pegs, and when someone has filled their bar there is one final minigame of Top Trumps to determine the winner, with each player getting the number of cards equal to their score to play with.
