The Toppus Trumpus deck face down beside the Merlin card, scored across six measures

Our right to be called wizards has just been elevated. We’re building the definitive classification system for wizardry and creating a game based on the much loved Top Trumps. Childhood dreams can come true!

Toppus Trumpus, or as it’s now been officially renamed, Silly Wizards, brings together history’s occultists, mythological heavyweights, legendary sorcerers and assorted magical oddballs, then subjects them all to the same six sacred measures: Arcane Power, Mythic Legacy, Knowledge, Charisma, Aesthetic and Chaos. Merlin scores 100 for Mythic Legacy. Odin gets 100 for Knowledge. Thoth has a frankly disappointing 18 for Chaos. These things matter.

Part research project, part collectible card game, part completely unnecessary argument about who would beat whom, the deck keeps growing as we dig deeper into folklore, mythology, mysticism and history.
