It's a British card game, very fun! It has the basic princables of war, only more choice, and pretty pictures of EVERYONE. Strangely addictive. Like Turkish Delight. Am pretty sure they have both in Grey Havens. Otherwise well stay in ME. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

What musical, pray tell, was that?

And it IS a fun game! They have a whole bunch of 'em, like sports teams (yawn), Buffy the Vampire Slayer, (I love that show!) Angel (spinoff) and the Simpsons. (My dad got that on. o.0) I'm pretty sure they have a website. Google search, if you put in Top Trump, well find it. Sorry I don't have the exact URL...
