First Click on the link above and print of your own set of Sunset Beach Top Trump cards (For long wear and durability we suggest you stick your cards onto a cereal packet before you cut them out and then cover them in clear sticky back plastic or sellotape). We will be adding new cards soon so if you want to receive email alerts telling you when they are reading click on the link above and put Top Trumps in the subject line.
How to Play
You can have as many players as you like, first shuffle the cards and deal, each player should hold they cards so they can only see the first card. The player on the dealers right starts, by choosing the category they think there character is strongest in and reading it out (ie Hair 5). The rest of the players then read out the results in the same category, the player with the highest value wins and collects everybody elses card which they place at the bottom of their pile. It is then their choice to pick a category. If 2 or more cards have the same score all cards are placed in the middle and the same player picks again from a new card, and the winner takes not only the current hand, but also the cards in the middle. The winner is the person at the end with all the cards
Scoring
This how we worked out everybody's value.
Family/Heritage (0-10)
Background points are awarded for the pedigree of the characters family for example Caitlin and Sean will score highly because of the prominent position their parents have in SB whilst Michael will not pick up any points as he's an SB orphan.
Marriage/Love (0-10)
Points for strength of relationships.
Hair (0-5)
For women The bigger the hair the bigger the points.
For men the greasier the hair.
Fantasies (0-100)
If the characters are prone to talking to themselves or of having fantasies, they also score points for the wackiness i.e. Annie wild west dreams score high, while Gabi's fantasies about telling Ricardo the truth hardly register on the scale.
Laughability (0-20)
Quality of acting, best actors score less, while worst actors (Caitlin) score highly.
Intelligence (0-25)
If the character's clever i.e. Tyus scores 25 (miracle man) and Ricardo scores 0 (hasn't solved a single case).
Accent (0-10)
If the character actually has an accent Ben and Olivia etc or if they from time to time put on an accent Annie and Virginia etc.
Cunningness (0-100)
How sneaky they are.
