Animal Top Trump Cards - Research







- Each of the top trump cards have different categories in which the abilities are scored. For example the Shark is rated in size, defence abilities, its level of threat, etc. Each of the 'categories' needs to be the same throughout each card in the pack as they are used as part of the scoring game. 

- The rules for the game differ between each pack however the general gist is that whoever has the highest proposed category gets given the card. On the bear cards, an overall score is given but this is not seen in any of the other more commercial Top Trumps cards. 

- The top trump cards are all landscape and the Bear YOYO cards are landscape. Experimenting with a different layout may be something that would benefit the design of the Bear cards.

- The amount of text that is on each card consists of two or more long sentences that are displayed in a small typeface due to the size of the card. This is a negative aspect that was picked up on through speaking to the primary school teachers. Keeping the text concise yet informative in a larger font size would be more appropriate to the 4-9 target audience age.
