Top Trumps Collectors Edition 2008 2

An advertisement for the pack.

It was the first pack to cover the "Classic Series", released to celebrate the programmes' 45th anniversary, and came in a TARDIS-shaped cardboard presentation box.[1]

It contained 30 game cards with six new attributes: adventures, global threat, brains, style, strength & fear factor, and covered characters from TV: An Unearthly Child-The TV Movie.

Publisher's summary[]

Now that Season four of Doctor Who has drawn to a close, and the children of time have fought the new Dalek Empire on a stolen Earth, you might be feeling a little lost without an adventure every week. But never fear, the Top Trumps Tardis is here to take you spinning through space and time and celebrate 45 years of Doctor Who!

The first Top Trumps: Collectors Edition, this pack takes you from Coal Hill School in 1963 through to San Francisco in the 20th Century as we look at the daring escapades of all the Doctor's classic regenererations! No adventure would be complete without companions, and the Top Trumps Tardis has them all, from Susan to Leela to Ace, not forgetting of course the tenacious Sarah Jane Smith. Of course, every adventure needs a villain and this pack has creatures from across the universe - from the Sea Devils, the Zygons and the Kandyman to the Master's and his evil schemes and the wanton destruction of the Daleks and Cybermen.[2][3]
