Introducing "Topic Trumps: The Geek's Delight"

The ultimate card game for knowledge-hungry geeks and enthusiasts! Get ready to delve into the depths of niche interests and expand your geeky horizons in this unique twist on the classic Top Trumps (TM) game.

Just like its traditional counterpart, Topic Trumps follows a simple yet addictive gameplay formula. Each player receives a hand of topic-themed cards, with each card containing open-source researched stats.

The objective of the game is to outdo your opponents by comparing specific attributes or statistics of the topic cards. These attributes may vary depending on the theme, but they could include factors such as speed, weight, firepower or even something completely odd and obscure. Players take turns challenging their opponents by selecting a specific attribute from their card and pitting it against the corresponding attribute on their opponent's card. The player with the highest value for that attribute wins the round and collects the opponent's card.

However, what sets Topic Trumps apart from its traditional counterpart is its inherent educational value. All stats and values in the deck have been researched in open-source material - arming you for any pub-quiz or trivia night!

Players get to explore and learn about various geeky topics that they may not have encountered before. Whether it's discovering fascinating facts about rare chemicals, fantasy characters, curries of the world or taking a crash-course in wine or maybe unraveling the intricacies of micro-computers of the 1980s, Topic Trumps is an excellent way to immerse yourself in new, old and exciting subjects.

In addition to its quick gameplay and educational value, Topic Trumps takes learning to the next level with an innovative feature: each card is equipped with a QR code that links to a wealth of information about the specific topic it represents. By scanning the QR code using a smartphone or tablet, players can find out more about their favourite card.

Let the "trumping" begin!

.

Step 1 - shuffle & deal:

Divide the cards evenly amongst all the players...

Step 2. Player 1 calls:

Player 1 flips over their top card, chooses a stat and announces it!

Step 3. The other players respond:

Players 2 & 3 flip over their top card and call out the value for the same stat!

Step 4. Winner takes all:

Players 2, having the highest value, wins this round and receives the face up cards from player 1 & player 2. All 3 face up cards now go face down on the bottom of Player 2's deck.

Step 5. A new round begins:

As winner of the previous round, Players 2 gets to choose the stat.

This process repeats until one player has all the cards...

In the event of a draw:

All cards go face up in the center...

The first player to win a round gets all the cards and takes control of the call!
