I know that Top Trump cards aren't widely available in the USA, but I just got DC Superheroes Series 2, so I thought I'd share it with you.
The cards are playable with DC 1, so in turn are compatible also with Marvel 1, 2 and 3.
Where DC 1 generally featured DC's lesser powered characters, like the Batfamily and The Flash, DC 2 features the powerhouses like Superman, Wonderwoman and the Martian Manhunter.
For those who don't know, Top Trumps is a card game for two or more players. Each card has a number of statistics. A player will tell his opponent one of his card's stats, and the opponent will reply with the same stat from his card. The winner has the highest stat, and gets to keep his card and gains his opponent's too. The overall winner is the one who gets all the cards at the end of the game. These series of cards include the following stats;
Height (in cm)
Intelligence (out of 10)
Strength (out of 50)
Speed (out of 20)
Agility (out of 25)
Fighting Skills (out of 100)

I urge people to get these sets, as games can be played by all and are surprisingly fun and competetive. The DC cards feature exclusive artwork too, which is a bonus. As well as these, there are two compatible sets of star wars cards representing the two trilogies (hoping for a Thrawn trilogy set) and compatible sets of Buffy and Angel cards too. It's surprising just how many sets you pick up. I just wish the Incredibles cards were compatible wit hthe DC and Marvel cards lol.

No thanks, Etrigan. I'm a recovered Magic-holic three years now. But thanks for sharing the info. If you ever want to help with the upcoming Playing Cards section of the BYTB archives, just let me know.

That's pretty cool Etrigan, are there any pictures available? My favorite part of most card games is the art they use (I tried playing once or twice, but never really got into it).
