Top Trumps, for those unfamiliar with the brand, is a card-based game which shot to fame in the ’70s and ’80s. The game combines luck, strategy and subject knowledge as players pit one card against another. Retail sales of the game hit £18 million in 2006.

Ironstone will develop games for the PS2, Nintendo DS and PC, and will initially feature entirely new Top Trump characters.

Top Trumps has wonderful brand heritage and is a mainstay in the toy sector. We’re delighted to team up with Ironstone on this range and are looking-forward to strong sales,” said Rob Cooper UK managing director at Ubisoft.

The first game to be released will be Top Trumps: Horror and Predators.
