Top Trumps Specials: Doctor Who

Product Information

The choice is yours between those that reveal the name of your opponent's card to others that enable you to use a strong card repeatedly. Now this may sound like a contrived way of complicating a simple idea but it adds an extra layer of strategy and the timing of the use of these cards is essential for whittling down your opponent's hand. It also makes games against other DS owners using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection particularly bitter and petty, though. I would get this… If it featured any new cards. This is really pointless for anyone who has collected all of the cards already! And if there are only 60 cards, then what happened to the other 120 cards from the other sets? There are three possible reasons: Love this, but its a bit of an odd choice of characters for the front covers: Ace/Ood/Sontaran and Fourth Doctor/The Master/Whisper Man… 🙂 I like it! Reply

Mine was during a rainy caravan holiday in Beetham near the Lake District where the wonderful British summer had battered our static two-bed and our will to go out to play Swing-Ball into submission. All that was left to do was to play Marvel Superhero Top Trumps repeatedly until every stat and ability was ingrained into our tiny brains.

I got the classic top trumps a few years ago for my birthday. I would ask for this for my birthday but this comes out afterwards so I’ll probably get it with some money.

Hi Bob, loved this article. Tom Baker was very much “my Doctor” as I’m 48 years old now myself, making me around 8 at the time of Christopher’s drawings. To me, the whole Hauntology “meme” (hate that word) and the name Tom Baker are synonymous; those almost maniacal staring eyes of his… I used to suffer such nightmares from the scrapes he got into… Working with Tom has been a delight – he’s really everything I had hoped and expected him to be. I was very nervous before I first met him, but he was funny and generous, and of course, wildly eccentric. I remember him making everyone laugh by remarking, ‘Isn’t it terrible about Brangelina?’, as they’d just broken up! First, the design of eac card is diffirent, because, for example, the Series 6 one was light blue with diffirent designs on it but the Series 4 one is red. I would prefer if they where all identical.You can also play the Eleventh Doctors, their greatest companions and the scariest monsters and keep all 60 cards in this fantastic Eleventh Doctor’s TARDIS tin. Geronimo indeed! Watching from the safety of his Chelmsford home was four-year-old Christopher Naylor, whose love of the show inspired him to create a beautiful piece of DIY artwork – his own Doctor Who Top Trumps! And incredibly, 45 years later, Chris has actually become part of Tom Baker’s TARDIS team. In March 2021, prolific audiobook producers Big Finish will release Return of the Cybermen, an audio adaptation of the original Gerry Davis script that was extensively rewritten to become the 1975 TV story Revenge of the Cybermen. It stars Tom Baker as the Doctor, Sadie Miller as Sarah Jane Smith… and Christopher Naylor, recreating the late Ian Marter’s role as bold and burly companion Harry Sullivan. It would be good if they contained cards from The Rebel Flesh up to The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe, containing some more cards from Series 6 The Impossible Astronaut up to The Doctor’s Wife, such as Idris, Canton, Astronaut and Captain Avery. Reply With despotic tyrants like the Cult of Skaro and the Cyber Army up against newcomers the Judoon: Its a battle of intergalactic proportions.
