How to Play Top Trumps
Any number of people can play.
Shuffle and deal all the cards facedown. Players hold their cards so that they can see the top card only.
The player to the dealer's left starts by reading out a statistic from the top card (eg, courage, 44). The other players then read out the same statistic.
The player with the highest value wins and places all players' top cards, including his/her own, to the bottom of his/her pile. The player winning the hand, goes next.
If 2 or more cards share the highest value or no data is available for that particular statistic then all the cards are placed in the middle and the same player chooses again from the next card. The winner of the hand takes the cards in the middle as well.
The person with all the cards at the end is the winner.
