Top Trumps beaten by Craptrumps

Published in December 7th, 2007

I’m sure we all remember the classic game Top Trumps? It’s hard not to, they still sell it now. Particularly the movie franchised specials like Star Wars and Transformers. Back in the decade that taste forgot however Top Trumps was about the coolest cars money couldn’t afford. It was played by mop haired teenagers all getting excited over tasteless looking vehicles that were built for raw speed rather than handling.

Today, in the Iron Age (Iron standing for Ironic) we appreciate a different kind of car comparison game. Namely how crap the cars are! Craptrumps is a Top Trumps style game that allows you to compare the more useless and crap aspects of different cars, such as surface area of rust, cost to pass an MOT and windscreen wiper speed.

It’s for the more discerning car enthusiast. The sort of chap who’s favourite segment of Top Gear is when the guys have to spend small amounts of money on old bangers and see if they can survive the ordeals they’re put through, such as filling a Rover Princess with water and driving it round a track.

If you like that, Craptrumps is for you.
