I must admit that the whole Top Trumps ‘fad’ went right over my head as a kid as I got bored of it veeeeery quickly! However, I know quite a few typography geeks that would love to be gifted with Type Trumps 2 designed by Rick Banks. A follow up to its predecessor Type Trumps 1, it has 30 gamecards showing various classic typefaces and each has been assigned a numerical value. Players then battle it out Top Trumps style and can win and lose cards and..er..well…if you’re a Top Trumps fan you’ll know what to do.
Of course you could always use them to create your own custom artwork. £9.99 for the pack. They’re sold out at The Design Museum (they’re awaiting a delivery) but you can get them direct from Face37 where you can also get Type Trumps 1. Dare I say it, being February and all that jazz, but they also make cool Valentine’s gifts for the font fiend in your life.
