game popular with adults and children in the United Kingdom in the 1970s and 1980s, especially among boys, for whom it was a popular playground pastime. The topics tended to reflect this, and included military hardware, modes of transport and racing cars. The packs tended to be priced so that children could collect new packs by saving pocket money for a few weeks. The original Top Trumps was launched in 1978 with eleven different packs selling at 50p each, published by a company named Dubreq. Dubreq was also known for the Stylophone.
