It's time for something far more twisted. Terror Top Chumps feature the likes of thoroughly despicable dictators Pol Pot, Adolf Hitler and Italian fascist Benito Mussolini, and you can pick from categories such as ‘Body Count', ‘Reign of Terror' as well as the all important ‘Facial Hair.'
Kerrang! January 2004


All in very poor taste, and bound to annoy your Daily Mail reading boss. We'd advise you to invest in a pack and play them on break. It's educational anyway. After all, do you know how many people Pol Pot committed genocide on? These cards will enable you to disturb your mates with your knowledge of blood-crazy power mongers no end.
Ice April 2004


I'd like to blame any typos, grammatical errors and bad spelling (or jokes) in this issue on a company called Fear Trade. Ever since they sent us a pack of Terror Top Chumps, deadlines have been overshadowed by quarrels about creative cruelty, bickers over body counts and the occasional knife fight about who had the longest reign of terror. Editorial from
This is Brighton Feb 2004


Think you're too old for a game of top trumps? Well think again. Those radical peeps at Fear Trade have just launched a brand new deck that will make you want to battle it out with your mates playground style as well as scaring the bejesus out of you at the same time.
24:7 magazine April 2004


And after you've stopped wishing you had Stalin rather than Franco and dismissed Carlos the Jackal as ‘crap', pause to consider that between them, these 32 individuals have been responsible for over 118 million deaths…
Weed World June 2004

This is a very bad thing. And very un-PC. We love it. A deck of 32 of the world's worst dictators and terrorists, and categories like 'invasions' and 'body count' make it a novel spin on the usual TT format.

Hi fear Trade, I showed the top chumps to the guys in the history dept and they thought they were great. I tried them out on some of my naughty kids and they were good as gold so i was stoked. I know selling them to a school may not be quite what you had in mind, but they are looking into buying a class set or so! Can you let me know your min order. cheers chucks!

Hey Fear Trade,

….People see the cards as 'equating' Che and Stalin, personally I'm not too fussed about those inclusions but others have been saying they look politically naive...
