Our festive Fantasy Fleet rates the ultimate card game experience and its latest launches. By John Challen.

Ah, Christmas! A time of spending time with the family, eating and drinking too much and generally having a relaxing time forgetting about work and everything fleet-related (unless you want to check out the Fleet World website, of course).

But when you’ve had your fill of turkey, chocolates and Prosecco – and you can’t decide what to watch on TV in the time between Wallace and Gromit and the FINAL final Gavin and Stacy episode, what is there to do? You could scroll on your phone through endless social media posts about the perfect Christmas day, but a much better option would be to actually engage with those people you don’t see much of during the busy working week – your family – and play a game.

Thankfully, help is at hand from the legendary folk at Top Trumps, who have announced the arrival of six new sets of the iconic card game. Whether you want to compare sports cars, supercars, 4x4s or models from The Fast and Furious (just the original film), Top Trumps has you covered. Fancy mixing it up with something beyond cars? Try the Grand Prix Heroes series, or James Bond set – they literally are fun for all the family.

The great and the good of cars feature in the sports car and supercar sets, with everything from a Ferrari F40, to the McLaren F1 to the much more recent Pagani Huayra featuring in the former. In the Supercars edition, there are a total of 30 models, with vehicles from Aston Martin, BMW, Porsche and even Lykan (nope, I hadn’t heard of it either!)

The Grand Prix Heroes pack transports you back in time and gives you the opportunity to learn more – or remember – about the facts and figures of greats such as Fittipaldi, Schumacher and Senna. But if fantasy is more your thing, indulge yourself by reliving some of the very best gadgets – and cars – from the world of James Bond. Revel in the technological advances ranging from the Geiger counter in Dr No, through to the wrist dart gun, to the all-singing, all-dancing watch worn by Daniel Craig in No Time to Die. If that wasn’t enough, then there are iconic vehicles such as the Q Boat and the Aston Martin Vanquish to compare, too.
