Back in 1977, cheap car insurer – Quoteheaven.co.uk – wore large areas of volumic hair and widely diametered slacks. Because the cheap car insurers were 'in'. ‘With it’ if you get our cheap car insuring drift. Man. You can’t argue with that. And cheap car insurer – Quoteheaven.co.uk - were not alone. As a certain Scotsman, himself of similar follicled disadvantage, and tartan-esque apparel going by the less flamboyant name of Rodney Stewart terrified young girls with the thought that 'Tonight's the Night'. Although for some, miraculously, it was just that. However, what really set the year on edge, according to cheap car insurer Quoteheaven.co.uk that is, and mixed things up more than a little bit, (like cheap car insurer Quoteheaven.co.uk like to do) was the conceiving of the cult game Top Trumps. Like all crazes, it blazed a rapid trail across the country, igniting fires of nerdy enthusiasm wherever it rolled up. Usually in a rotting caravan during a holidaying downpour. Well for those of you whose lives were irrevocably touched by the phenomenon that was Top Trumps, may the cheap car insurer with a nod to the past (cheap car insurance price-wise anyhow) – Quoteheaven.co.uk – present, as a UK loosely-motoring insurance website-based exclusive, the new game that will knock Top Trumps off its tawdry perch. The game that will in fact Trump Top Trumps if you ever thought that possible. Craptrumps has arrived.
Craptrumps are just like Top Trumps, only crappier. Or better. Opinion will be split I can assure you. There are now 56 cards found in a pack (rather than 32 in the original) and they’re made of superior quality wood pulp. Oh, and they're 33% bigger too – not that size is important to a card aficionado that clutched his top trumps wherever he may have wondered. Wounded. Although this is because now we’re bigger, therefore everything else seems that much smaller in our hands. Instead of the collection of cool and classic cars adorning the cards with their super-charged features and scores, Craptrumps is all about the opposite of good. And that place is called bad. Really rubbish cars we all actually drive in the real world appear on these palm-tastical time wasters. Side-splittingly funny; Craptrumps features the deeply irrelevant, highly irregular and downright stupid qualities of some shockingly crap cars. Gone are 0-60 times, bird-pulling power, etc…replaced instead windscreen wiper speeds (per minute), cost needed to pass MOT (often well into the thousands), surface area of rust, and of course the general and all important – outright Crap Factor of the car. Infinitely funnier than the original game and considerably less nerdy - why would you want to play anything else? Craptrumps rocks my fragile world. Let it take over yours too.
