Top Trumps: England Women’s Football Stars — collect, compare, celebrate
Think of this deck as a pocket-sized fanclub: 30-ish cards (depending on the edition) that turn England players’ careers into quick head-to-head showdowns. Each card packs a photo, a short bio, and easy-to-compare stats — goals, appearances (caps), trophies and the like — so every round is part game, part mini-lesson about your favourite players.
What’s in the pack
– A sealed deck of player cards, a rules slip and a compact plastic case (85 x 140 x 20 mm) that fits in a bag or a jacket pocket.
– Product codes to check: EAN 5036905055697 and item code WM04520-EN1-6.
– Designed for ages 6+, playable with 2+ people.
Why it works
It’s simple: pick a category, reveal, higher number wins. That makes the game easy to pick up but also great for repeat play — quick rounds, quick wins, quick chats about who’s on the card.
The short bios are little conversation starters: one line that might make someone look up a highlight reel or a career-defining moment.
How to play and what you learn
– The core mechanic trains basic numeracy and comparison skills: name a stat, compare values, take the trick.
– Reading short bios and role-based terms nudges vocabulary and reading confidence.
– Try classroom-friendly modes: timed warm-ups, paired reading rounds, or a simple scoring sheet to track wins across five rounds.
Quick activity ideas
– 3-minute warm-up: fast rounds to familiarise players with the categories.
– Draft mode: each player picks three cards from a shared pool—keeps sessions fresh and social.
– Themed rounds: only defenders or only goalkeepers — changes the pace and sparks different conversations.
– Team play: pair up and alternate category picks for quick tournaments.
– Handicap for beginners: give new players a one-point bonus for the first few rounds.
Design and durability
Cards use clear fonts, high-contrast icons and rounded corners. They’re coated to resist spills and a hard plastic case keeps the deck clean on the go — ideal for matchdays, travel, or a rainy-day cupboard of activities.
Who will love it
– Young fans who want tactile, social ways to learn player names and stats.
– Collectors looking for display pieces that actually get used.
– Casual supporters who want something fun to play pre-match or on the commute.
Players you’ll recognise
The deck includes big names from the England squad across positions — for example Lucy Bronze, Mary Earps, Leah Williamson, Beth Mead and others — so it’s relevant whether you’re into defenders, keepers or forwards.
Practical buying and care tips
– Check EAN 5036905055697 and item code WM04520-EN1-6 when buying to avoid mix-ups.
– Inspect packaging on arrival: no crushed corners, no water damage.
– Do a quick shuffle-and-bend test if you plan to gift or use in class.
– Keep the rules slip and the case — they speed setup and make storage painless.
Extra rules if you want more depth
– Points twist: 1 point for a category win; 2 points if you win with an underdog card; bonus for three wins in a row. Adds strategy without overcomplicating things.
– Blitz rounds: give players 10–15 seconds to pick a category to speed things up and reward instinct.
– Playtest any variant across a few sessions and keep the ones everyone actually enjoys. It’s built for short bursts of play, easy sharing, and a bit of learning disguised as friendly competition — perfect for matchday hype, classroom warm-ups, or just killing time with someone who also loves football.
